Robot Navigation
Exploration of Unknown Environments (SRL at Imperial College)
When a robot is supposed to explore an unknown environment, it is of paramount importance that it only moves into space wherer it will not collide with obstacles; therefore, we need to leverage respective information of free vs. occupied space from the map representations and perform motion planning in a way to efficiently uncover the unknown map while ensuring safety. SRL has been working on respective information-based approaches as applied to drones.
