Outdoor visual navigation for autonomous robots

Abstract Designers of mobile robots need to consider the special requirements that mobile robots have as physical problem-solving systems. In particular, robot design needs to consider task-specific models; the explicitness of representations; and architectural support. Several systems and subsystems built for the CMU Navlab and AMBLER robots illustrate the different models and processing that enable those robots to perfom their various tasks.
