Informative Path Planning Toward Autonomous Real-World Applications

GHC 4405

Abstract: Gathering information from the physical world is critical for applications such as scientific research, environmental monitoring, search and rescue, defense, and disaster response. Autonomous robots provide significant advantages for information gathering, particularly in situations where human access is constrained, hazardous, or impractical. By leveraging intelligent algorithms, these robots can efficiently collect data, enhancing decision-making [...]
