Frontier-based Automatic-differentiable Information Gain Measure for Robotic Exploration of Unknown 3D Environments
Di Deng, Zhefan Xu, Wenbo Zhao +1
The path planning problem for autonomous exploration of an unknown region by a robotic agent typically employs frontier-based or information-theoretic heuristics. Frontier-based he…
