Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics XVI, Volume 1: Proceedings of the Sixteenth Workshop on the Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics

This book is the first volume of two that present research advances on algorithmic robotics written by leading experts in the field. Algorithms are a fundamental component of robotic systems: they control or reason about motion and perception in the physical world. They receive input from noisy sensors, consider geometric and physical constraints, and operate on the world through imprecise actuators. The design and analysis of robot algorithms therefore raises a unique combination of questi...
