One of the most important features for a robot system working in a real-world application is mobility. Mobile robots should be intelligent systems capable of a multitude of tasks while navigating either in indoor or outdoor environments. The majority of the challenges and issues in mobile robotics arise from the uncertainties involved in sensing and acting in unstructured and unpredictable real-world environments. Tomorrow’s mobile robotics systems should be able to understand and operate effectively in such environments, address safe interaction with humans and adapt their behaviour autonomously. In recent years, various interesting methods and approaches have been proposed that tackle...
