Design and Implementation of a Multi-sensor Mobile Platform

چکیده
In the last several years, mobile manipulators have been increasingly utilized and developed from a theoretical viewpoint as well as for practical applications in space, underwater, construction, and service environments. Our mobile manipulator RISCbot, is comprised of a manipulator arm mounted on a motorized mobile base wheelchair. The work presented in this chapter explores the use of multi-sensor for combining measurements from ultrasonic and infrared sensors for mobile manipulator navigation and obstacle avoidance. Furthermore, we deal with the problem of controlling of a mobile manipulator via sensor fusion in order to reduce the uncertainty in localization and obstacle avoidance. Sensor fusion is used by combining and integrating data gathered from sensory information provided by ultrasonic and infrared sensors to enhance the quality of information provided to RISCbot.

Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...

متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
