Autonomous Indoor Mobile Robot Navigation by detecting Fluorescent Tubes

This paper proposes an indoor navigation system for an autonomous mobile robot including the teaching of its environment. The self-localization of the vehicle is done by detecting the position and orientation of fluorescent tubes located above it’s desired path thanks to a camera pointing to the ceiling. A map of the lights based on odometry data is built in advance by the robot guided by an op...

Autonomous Indoor Robot Navigation Using Sketched Maps and Routes

Hand drawn sketches are natural means by which a high level description of an environment can be provided. They can be exploited to impart coarse prior information about the scene to a robot, thereby enabling it to perform autonomous navigation and exploration when a full metrical description of the scene is not available beforehand. In this paper, we present a navigation system supplemented by...

Predictive autonomous robot navigation

This paper considers the problem of a robot navigating in a crowded or congested environment. A robot operating in such an environment can get easily blocked by moving humans and other objects. To deal with this problem it is proposed to attempt to predict the motion trajectory of humans and obstacles. Two kinds of prediction are considered: short-term and long-term. The short-term prediction r...

A Navigation System for Autonomous Robot Operating in Unknown and Dynamic Environment: Escaping Algorithm

In this study, the problem of navigation in dynamic and unknown environment is investigated and a navigation method based on force field approach is suggested. It is assumed that the robot performs navigation in...
