What is Navigation?
[edit | edit source]Navigation comprises everything a robot needs to get from point A to point B as efficient as possible without bumping into furniture, walls or people.
This problem breaks down in several sub-problems:
- It needs to know where (Localization) it is.
- It needs to detect and avoid obstacles (Collision Avoidance).
- It needs memory of its surroundings (Mapping).
- It has to be able to plan a route (Trajectory Planning) to point B.
- It has to be able to explore (Exploration) new terrain.
