The Quest For "Always-On" Autonomous Mobile Robots [PDF]

Proceedings of the Twenty-Eighth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2019
Building ``always-on'' robots to be deployed over extended periods of time in real human environments is challenging for several reasons. Some fundamental questions that arise in the process include: 1) How can the robot reconcile unexpected differences between its observations and its outdated map of the world?
