Learning Relational Navigation Policies [PDF]
2006 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2006 Navigation is one of the fundamental tasks for a mobile robot. The majority of path planning approaches has been designed to entirely solve the given problem from scratch given the current and goal configurations of the robot. Although these approaches yield highly efficient plans, the computed policies typically do not transfer to other, similar tasks.
