Abstract
Robot Navigation is concerned with purposeful, collision-free guidance of a robotic vehicle through an environment which may initially be unknown to varying degrees, using on-board sensors to determine the vehicle’s position and pose and also, if required, to incrementally map the environment whilst moving through it. The properties of the terrain, including whether it contains time-varying components, how cluttered it is, and particularly if risk to human safety is involved, all represent considerable challenges to researchers working in this field.
