Robots losing track of where they are is a long-standing challenge known as the “kidnapped robot” problem, but researchers say they have developed a new AI system that could help solve it.
A research team at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche in Spain has developed a new localisation method for autonomous robots, which uses 3D LiDAR technology to scan surroundings with laser pulses to create a map-like representation of the environment.
