A strategy S solving a navigation task T is called competitive with ratio r if the cost of solving any instance t of T does not exceed r times the cost of solving t optimally. The competitive complexity of task T is the smallest possible value r any strategy S can achieve. We discuss this notion, and survey some tasks whose competitive complexities are known. Then we report on new results and o...

We provide a competitive strategy for a mobile robot with vision, that has to explore an unknown simple polygon starting from and returning to a given point xo on the boundary.

It has been claimed before by other authors that a competitive strategy with factor 2016 exists for ...
