Mini toolsDefinition
The ability of robots to plan and execute movement through environments without human intervention.
Detailed Explanation
Autonomous navigation combines localization, mapping, path planning, and obstacle avoidance. Systems typically use sensor fusion from multiple sources (LIDAR, cameras, IMUs) and employ probabilistic methods for state estimation. Advanced systems may use semantic understanding and topological maps for higher-level navigation decisions.
Use Cases
Self-driving cars, Warehouse robots, Exploration rovers, Service robots
