Abstract
A method and system for autonomous robot exploration based on frontier region learning are provided. The learning-based autonomous robot exploration system includes a frontier region detector configured to detect a frontier region corresponding to a real-time grid map by inputting the real-time grid map of a region in which a robot is located to a frontier region detection network, a distance predictor configured to measure a distance between the robot and each frontier point included in the detected frontier region, and a frontier point determiner configured to determine, among frontier points, a frontier point to which the robot moves for exploration based on the distance between the robot and each frontier point.
