  "term": "Kidnapped robot problem",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A challenge in robot localization where a mobile robot is unexpectedly moved to an unknown location without its internal sensors detecting the displacement. The robot must then re-localize itself using its onboard sensors and environmental observations, often employing techniques like Monte Carlo localization. This scenario tests the robustness of a robot's self-localization algorithms in dynamic environments.",
