CHAPTER 14 ROBOTICS
Mobile Robots
Manipulator Robots
Sensors and Effectors
Motion as Search
Decomposition Methods
Approximate Decomposition
Skeletonization Methods
Probabilistic Roadmaps
Potential Field Methods So far: implicit preference for short paths Rational agent should balance distance with risk! Idea: introduce cost for being close to an obstacle Can do this with discrete methods (how?) Usually most natural with continuous methods
Probabilistic Robotics in Context
Robot Environment Interaction
Robot Environment Interaction
Localization
Monte Carlo Localization
SLAM Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Estimate a map of the world, as well as your position of it, at the same time! It’s hard: If robot had a map, localization would be easier (still hard) If robot knew where it was, building a map would be easier (still hard) Issues of scale, approximations, etc.
