Design and development of mobile robot thematic mapping using flexible ellipse shape region

Map is used to associate the entity of normal data distribution of an environment and also be used as a reference to detect changes in monitoring application. However, there is limitation in the use of a map if the designer of a robot needs to consider its resources, such as usage of memory space. T...
