An extended Kalman filter extension of the augmented Markov decision process
… such as the partially observable Markov decision process, plan over the entire set of beliefs (distributions over the robot's position). Unfortunately, this approach is only tractable for problems with very few states. Between these two extreme approaches, however, lies a continuum of …
