A meta-heuristic based goal-selection strategy for mobile robot search in an unknown environment

The single-robot search problem in an unknown environment is defined as the problem of finding a stationary object in the environment whose map is not known a priori. Compared to exploration, the only difference lies in goal selection as the objectives of search and exploration are dissimilar, i.e....

description The single-robot search problem in an unknown environment is defined as the problem of finding a stationary object in the environment whose map is not known a priori.
