Long-Term Robot Navigation in Indoor Environments Estimating Patterns in Traversability Changes

Lorenzo Nardi,Cyrill Stachniss,Lorenzo Nardi,Cyrill Stachniss

Nowadays, mobile robots are deployed in many indoor environments such as offices or hospitals. These environments are subject to changes in the traversability that often happen following patterns. In this paper, we investigate the problem of navigating in such environments over extended periods of time by capturing and exploiting these patterns to make informed decisions for navigation. Our approa...
