This article describes techniques that have been developed for spatial
learning in dynamic environments and a mobile robot system, ELDEN, th
at integrates these techniques for exploration and navigation. In this
research, we introduce the concept of adaptive place networks, increm
entally constructed spatial representations that incorporate variable-
confidence links to model uncertainty about topological adjacency. The
se networks guide the robot's navigation while constantly adapting to
any topological changes that are encountered. ELDEN integrates these n
etworks with a reactive controller that is robust to transient changes
in the environment and a relocalization system that uses evidence gri
ds to recalibrate dead reckoning.
