Navigating without a map is a difficult task for robots, especially when they can't reliably determine where they are. A new AI-powered solution helps robots overcome this challenge by training them ...

A new approach could help a search-and-rescue robot navigate an unpredictable environment by rapidly generating an accurate map of its surroundings. (Nanowerk News) A robot searching for workers ...

A robot searching for workers trapped in a partially collapsed mine shaft must rapidly generate a map of the scene and identify its location within that scene as it navigates the treacherous terrain.

In a study published in Robot Learning journal, researchers propose a new learning-based path planning framework that allows mobile robots to navigate safely and efficiently using a Transformer model.
