Industrial robots have revolutionized industry during the last couple of decades. The world of robotics has now moved on to developing mobile robots with navigational intelligence and scene interpretation ability so that they can interact with their environment and efficiently execute a task.

  • The robotics today is a combination of navigational intelligence (that includes localization, mapping, SLAM, path planning etc) and computer vision based scene interpretation.
  • These research areas continue to attract researchers and there are many challenges to be solved before we can see a truly autonomous mobile agent capable to navigating on its own interacting with its environment.
