Kidnapped robot problem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In robotics, the kidnapped robot problem is the situation where an autonomous robot in operation is carried to an arbitrary location.[1][2]

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.
