Chasing an Elusive Target With a Mobile Robot
Résumé
This paper describes how a mobile robot (a six-wheeled Koala equiped with a PAL pan-tilt camera) can chase an elusive target (a remote controlled toy car) in an unknown and unconstrained environment. The first purpose of the paper is to demonstrate efficiency, simplicity, and adequacy of Bayesian Robot Programming (BRP) to quickly develop such applications. The second purpose of the paper is to illustrate that tremendous information compression ratio may be obtained by some pertinent sensori-motor decoupling.
