Rubber band paradigm: a method for environment reconstruction for global planning of a mobile robot
J Harvey, Shahram Payandeh · 2002
The rubber band method (RBM) is a simple and effective method for storing sensor data collected by a mobile robot. A variety of useful information relevant to path planning and problem solving can be extracted. The RBM provides a frame work for evaluating the accuracy of newly acquired sensor data. This paper discusses the goals, the components, and ultimately the uses of the RBM.
