Risk-aware Meta-level Decision Making for Exploration Under Uncertainty

no code implementations12 Sep 2022 Joshua Ott, Sung-Kyun Kim, Amanda Bouman, Oriana Peltzer, Mamoru Sobue, Harrison Delecki, Mykel J. Kochenderfer, Joel Burdick, Ali-akbar Agha-mohammadi

Robotic exploration of unknown environments is fundamentally a problem of decision making under uncertainty where the robot must account for uncertainty in sensor measurements, localization, action execution, as well as many other factors.
