Navigating without a map is a difficult task for robots, especially when they can’t reliably determine where they are.

Instead of blindly heading toward a target, the robot evaluates the visual richness of its surroundings and favors routes where it’s less likely to get “lost.”Navigating without a map is a difficult task for robots, especially when they can’t reliably determine where they are.
