Abstract
This paper reports a sensing point planning for mobile robots to obtain 3-dimensional environment information which includes range and visual data. Generally, to avoid an occlusion problem and a low resolution problem, it is necessary for robots to sense in different places. Therefore, a suitable sensing point planning is required to reduce redundant sensing. This problem is called "Art Gallery and Illumination Problems" in 3-dimensional environment, and our approach is to solve the problem with consideration of both valid-sensing-area and partially-unknown environment. In this paper, we explain our planning-approach and introduce some initial experimental results.
