Directed Sonar Sensing for Mobile Robot Navigation

by John J. Leonard and Hugh F. Durrant-Whyte

This monograph is a revised version of the D.Phil. thesis of the first author, submitted in October 1990 to the University of Oxford. This work investigates the problem of mobile robot navigation using sonar.
