Automated mobile robots under the influence of random disturbances
The dynamics of sensors operated devices such as Automated Mobile Robots and more generally automated target seeking devices is studied in presence of noise. We introduce a simple and analytically tractable class of dynamics which permits to classify qualitatively and somehow quantitatively also the approach to the targets when fluctuations corrupt the ideal trajectories. Our model constitute a first evaluation of the feasibility of an efficient approach when the parameters of the model (statistics of the noise, lengths of the path and progressing steps and heading velocity) are known.
