Exploration of unknown dynamic environments: A visual saliency-based babbling approach

This method achieves efficient random explorations of open and dynamic environments. It relies on two main assumptions: (1) moveable object are interesting, (2) focus on visually salient areas first, that are not specific to a particular scenario or experimental setup.
