Visual station keeping for floating robots in unstructured environments
This paper describes the use of vision for navigation of mobile robots floating in 3D space. The problem addressed is that of automatic station keeping relative to some naturally textured environmental region. Due to the motion disturbances in the environment (currents), these tasks are important to keep the vehicle stabilized relative to an external reference frame. Assuming short range region...
متن کاملVision Based Station Keeping and Docking for Floating Robots
This thesis describes a method of vision based station keeping and docking for floating robots. Due to the motion disturbances in the environment, these tasks are important to keep the vehicle stabilized relative to an external reference frame. A vision-based tracking system is used to measure the image deformations, as the vehicle moves with respect to a docking station. A planar surface is ch...
متن کاملBehavioural cloning for robots in unstructured environments
Behavioural cloning is an approach where an agent observes the actions of a human operator and then tries to generalise their behaviour. Successful applications include pilotting aircraft in simulation (Sammut et al., 1992) and operating container cranes (Urbancic and Bratko, 1994). In this work, we examine the application of behavioural cloning to autonomous navigation of a robot in an unstruc...
متن کاملReal-time Vision-based Station Keeping for Underwater Robots
In this paper we describe the design and implementation of a control system for automatic vision-based station keeping with an underwater ROV, relative to some visual landmark. First, a region-based tracking system is described that tracks naturally textured landmarks in the image plane, based upon full planar-projective motion models. The implementation of the algorithm is such that it allows ...
متن کاملHow Can Robots Succeed in Unstructured Environments?
Roboticists are working towards the realization of autonomous mobile manipulators that can perform useful tasks in human environments. These environments pose a significant challenge because of their complexity and inherent uncertainty. They are characterized by having a high dimensional state space. Consequently, performing tasks in these unstructured environments remains a challenge. Recently...
