Application of QR Code for Localization and Navigation of Indoor Mobile Robot

Real time text localization for Indoor Mobile Robot Navigation

Scene text is an important feature to be extracted, especially in vision-based mobile robot navigation as many potential landmarks such as nameplates and information signs contain text. In this paper, a novel two-step text localization method for Indoor Mobile Robot Navigation is introduced. This method is based on morphological operators and machine learning techniques and can be used in real ...

Learning Maps for Indoor Mobile Robot Navigation

Autonomous robots must be able to learn and maintain models of their environments. Research on mobile robot navigation has produced two major paradigms for mapping indoor environments: grid-based and topological. While grid-based methods produce accurate metric maps, their complexity often prohibits efficient planning and problem solving in large-scale indoor environments. Topological maps, on ...

A New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space

In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...
