Mobile Robot Navigation in Changing Environments – Lessons learned from the RoboTour Challenge

In this talk, we will summarise the impact of the RoboTour Challenge on the research of vision-based mobile robot navigation in challenging environments. We will show that some of the `technical’ problems encountered by RoboTour participants are still not solved and they offer excellent opportunities for high-impact research. Our presentation will include examples of these open problems, novel solutions used to tackle them and the problems that are still open. We hope that these examples will not only motivate further research, but also help RoboTour teams zthat struggle with these so-called `technical’ issues.
