Computing a Network of ASRs using a Mobile Robot Equipped with Sonar Sensors

摘要

This paper presents a novel algorithm for computing absolute space representations (ASRs) in Yeap, W.K. and Jefferies, M. (1988) for mobile robots equipped with sonar sensors and an odometer. The robot is allowed to wander freely (i.e. without following any fixed path) along the corridors in an office environment from a given start point to an end point. It then wanders from the end point back to the start point. The resulting ASRs computed in both directions are shown
