Planning a path for a mobile robot typically requires building a map (e.g., an occupancy grid) of the environment as the robot moves around. While navigating in an unknown environment, the map built by the robot online may have many as-yet-unknown regions. A conservative planner may avoid such regions taking a longer time to navigate to the goal. Instead, if a robot is able to correctly predict th...
