Collision Avoidance between Mobile Robots

Cooperative collision avoidance between multiple mobile robots

This paper presents a new collision avoidance technique, called cooperative collision avoidance, for multiple mobile robots. The detection of the danger of collision between two mobile robots is discussed with respect to the geometric aspects of their paths as are cooperative collision avoidance behaviors. The direction control command and the velocity control command for the cooperative collis...

Collision and Turnover Avoidance of Mobile Robots with Force Reflection

Collision and turnover are fatal to mobile robots. Control methods are suggested for solving the fatal problems of mobile robots maneuvered by an operator. Speed reduction and wall following are applied for collision avoidance using ultrasonic sensor data. Modified Hough transform is suggested to obtain a wall model from sonar data overcoming limitations of ultrasonic sensors. The robot is also...

A Hybrid Collision Avoidance Method for Mobile Robots

This paper proposes a hybrid approach to the problem of collision avoidance for indoor mobile robots. The DWA (short for: model-based dynamic window approach) integrates sensor data from various sensors with information extracted from a map of the environment, to generate collision-free motion. A novel integration rule ensures that with high likelihood, the robot avoids collisions with obstacle...

Survey of collision avoidance and ranging sensors for mobile robots

Vision Based Target Tracking and Collision Avoidance for Mobile Robots

A real-time object tracking and collision avoidance method for mobile robot navigation is presented using stereo vision and a laser sensor. Stereo vision is used to identify the target while laser based range measurements are utilized to avoid collision with surrounding objects. The target is tracked by its predetermined or dynamically defined color. Experimental results in indoor environments ...
