چکیده

Humanitarian demining is a labor-intensive and high-risk which could benefit from the development of a humanitarian mine detection robot, capable of scanning a minefield semiautomatically. The design of such an outdoor autonomous robots requires the consideration and integration of multiple aspects: sensing, data fusion, path and motion planning and robot control embedded in a control and software architecture. This paper focuses on three main aspects of the design process: visual sensing using stereo and image motion analysis, design of a behaviour-based control architecture and implementation of a modular software architecture. RÉSUMÉ. : Le déminage humanitaire reste une opération laborieuse et risquée. Dans ce contexte, le but est de développer un robot mobile démineur capable de scanner un champ de mine de manière semi-automatique. La conception d’un tel robot doit prendre en considération différents aspects: la perception et le fusion des données, l’ architecture de contrôle pour la navigation du robot et son implémentation avec un logiciel adapté. Le système de perception utilisé dans ce travail est basé sur la stereo vision et l’analyse du mouvement dans l’image. Le système de contrôle utilise une architecture modulaire basée sur les comportements.

A framework for vision-guided trajectory generation with a 7 DOF robot arm

This paper describes the development of a software architecture for visually-guided workspace control on a 7 degree-of-freedom manipulator. Beginning with hardware and low-level drivers for the arm, a force sensor, a camera, and a 6-axis mouse, we produced a system capable of tracking and capturing small autonomous mobile robots [3]. The project demonstrates the core capability requirements for...

Evolving Visually Guided

We have developed a methodology grounded in two beliefs: that autonomous agents need visual processing capabilities , and that the approach of hand-designing control architectures for autonomous agents is likely to be superseded by methods involving the artiicial evolution of comparable architectures. In this paper we present results which demonstrate that neural-network control architectures c...
