Abstract

The exploration problems are studied where a robot has to construct a complete map of an unknown environment using a path that is as short as possible. In the first problem setting, a robot has to explore a geometric scene with n rectangles. In the second problem setting, a robot has to explore a grid graph with obstacles in a piecemeal fashion. An efficiency strategy for piecemeal exploration of grids with arbitrary rectilinear obstacles is presented.
