New motion planning and real-time localization methods using proximity for autonomous mobile robots

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === One of the most difficult theoretical problems in robotics--motion planning for rigid body robots-- must be solved before a robot can perform real- world tasks such as mine searching and processing. This dissertation proposes a new motion pl...
