Active Sensing through Learning: Generalising Perception Across Tasks, Sensors, and Robots

Kingston University

Faculty of Engineering, Computing and the Environment

Modern robotic systems are increasingly used in applications in uncertain environments. To perform tasks in such scenarios, robots need more than just motion planning and control—they must also make informed decisions about how and where to sense their environment to support effective operation.
