Abstract

Mobile robots often operate in domains that are incompletely known. This article addresses the goal-directed navigation problem in unknown terrain where a mobile robot has to move from its current configuration to given goal configuration. We will present tests performed with various implementations of graph search algorithms (A*, D*, focused D*) as path planners for a mobile robot, focusing on the inherent strong points and drawbacks of each implementation.
