Description

Localization, mapping, and planning are critical in autonomous robots operating in uncertain environments and in continuous and discrete domains. High-quality probabilistic models for a complex robot depend heavily on details from its environment, involving multiple parameters. However, there is a lack of accurate probabilistic models for existing robots that can handle reasonably the challenges posed by real applications. For most robots, actions are highly non-deterministic. Furthermore, there is a lack of general software packages applicable to new scenarios. Specifically, we propose a POMDP library for optimal planning and localization given new available models, and dedicated to optimize over exploration and exploitation tradeoffs.
