Encyclopedia
In robotics
, the kidnapped robot problem commonly refers to a situation where an autonomous robot
in operation is carried to an arbitrary location.
The kidnapped robot problem creates significant issues with the robot's localization system, and only a subset of localization algorithms can successfully deal with the uncertainty created; it is commonly used to test a robot's ability to recover from catastrophic localization failures.
