摘要
This paper describes the navigation system used by J Edgar, a small vision-guided robot that roams the corridors at the University of Melbourne. Given a model of the environment, J Edgar is able to find its way to any given location, even when its initial location is completely unknown. To do this, the robot makes use of a probabilistic localisation technique, in which the robot maintains a probability distribution over the space of all possible robot locations. Given this distribution, the robot then applies a particular navigation strategy, whose aim is to ensure that the robot not only reaches the goal, but knows that it has reached the goal.
