Physics-Guided Robotic Radiation Source Localization along Arbitrary Measurement Paths in Unstructured Environments

arXiv:2606.27624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Using robots to estimate the location of the radiation source is an effective way to improve efficiency and safety. Existing methods focus on planning the robot's path to achieve precise estimation, typically approaching the source. However, approaching the source increases the risk of radiation damage to a robot. In addition, a path-planning algorithm designed solely for radiation source localization (RSL) limits the flexibility of missions that d...
