Autonomous exploration using multiple sources of information

Abstract
This research enables robot explorers to maximize the total information gained while minimizing costs such as driving, sensing and planning. This paper presents a gen- eral methodology for solving complex exploration tasks which employs multiple sources of information. The paper also develops a specific instantiation of the method to solve the exploration problem of creating a complete tra- versability map of an unknown region. Simulation results showing the solution of this exploration task are included.
