This exercise is concerned with filtering in an environment with no landmarks. Consider a vacuum robot in an empty room, represented by an n×mrectangular grid. The robot’s location is hidden; the only evidence available to the observer is a noisy location sensor that gives an approximation to the robot’s location. If the robot is at location (x, y) then with probability .1 the sensor gives the correct location, with probability .05 each it reports one of the 8 locations immediately surrounding (x, y), with probability .025 each it reports one of the 16 locations that surround those 8, and with the remaining probability of .1 it reports “no reading.” The robot’s policy is to pick a direction and follow it with probability .8 on each step; the robot switches to a randomly selected new heading with probability .2 (or with probability 1 if it encounters a wall). Implement this as an HMM and do filtering to track the robot. How accurately can we track the robot’s path?
