There are two main streams in the early robotics. One is navigation and the other is manipulation. Navigation is the main function of an autonomous mobile robot. It observes the environment with cameras and laser scanners and builds the environmental model. With the acquired environmental model, it makes plans to move from the starting point to the destination. This is the navigation, and it was the main issue not only for robotics but also for artificial intelligence. On the other hand, manipulation is the main function of a robot arm. Many robot arms are working for assembling products in industries. They ...
