Abstract
his paper considers the problem of an autonomous search and rescue robot exploring a totally unknown unstructured environment. The robot has to be cautious because due to the lack of information about the environment any movement might be a potential risk, e.g. colliding with an
obstacle or driving into a fire. We are developing a novel approach to guide the exploration process by determine the next best movement of the robot based on the current knowledge
about the enclosing world. The problem of exploring an unknown environment is done by maximizing the knowledge of the environment and minimizing the risk for the robot, taking
in account the uncertainty of the sensor measurements and the so far obtained knowledge.
