Fuzzy Self-Localization using Natural Features on an AIBO Robot
نویسنده
چکیده
In current RoboCup four-legged league the robots rely only on coloured landmarks for localisation. It is intended to remove these landmarks in a few years, as happened in other leagues. The odometry of four-legged robots is extremely unreliable and there is a high uncertainty in robot motion. Therefore, sensor-based localization is necessary. We propose to extend our previous technique for fuzzy selflocalization based on landmars, by including observations of the corners between the field lines. We show experimental tests in a simulator using only the field lines and the two nets.

Cooperative Object Localization Using Fuzzy Logic
Cooperative localization of objects is an important challenge in multi-robot systems. We propose a new approach to cooperative object localization by a group of communicating robots. In our approach we see each robot as an expert which provides unreliable information about the location of objects. The information provided by different robots is combined using fuzzy logic techniques, in order to...
متن کاملFuzzy landmark-based localization for a legged robot
We describe a new technique for landmark-based self-localization which is suitable for robots with poor odom-etry. This technique uses fuzzy logic to account for errors and imprecision in visual recognition, and for extreme uncertainty in the estimate of the robot's motion. It only requires an approximate model of the sensor system and a qualitative estimate of the robot's displacement , and it...
متن کاملRobust and Efficient Field Features Detection for Localization
In some Robocup leagues, specially in the four-legged league, robots make use of coloured landmarks for localisation. Because these landmarks have no correlation with real soccer, it seems a natural approach to remove them. But for this to be a reality, there are some difficulties that need to be solved, mainly an efficient and robust field features detection and an efficient localisation techn...
متن کاملMap-merging in Multi-robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Process Using Two Heterogeneous Ground Robots
In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...
متن کاملVisual Based Localization for a Legged Robot
This paper presents a visual based localization mechanism for a legged robot in indoor office environments. Our proposal is a probabilistic approach which uses partially observable Markov decision processes. We use a precompiled topological map where natural landmarks like doors or ceiling lights are recognized by the robot using its on-board camera. Experiments have been conducted using the AI...
