Intelligent Robotics and Applications: 9th International Conference, ICIRA 2015, Portsmouth, UK, August 24–27, 2015, Proceedings, Part III

Autonomous exploration of an unknown environment by a mobile robot can be beneficial as robots can navigate in unknown environments without maps being supplied. Also it provides the possibility to produce maps without human interaction. Frontier based exploration is used here as the method for exploration. Some simulation and real world results with a Pioneer 3-AT are presented and discussed. Both simulation and real world experiments use ROS.
