Evaluation of navigation of an autonomous mobile robot

Published:28 August 2007Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, the navigation of an autonomous mobile robot is evaluated; Several metrics are described; These metrics, collectively, provide an indication of the quality of the navigation, useful for comparing and analyzing control architectures of mobile robots. Two control architectures are simulated and compared in an autonomous navigation mission.
