Spinoza: A Stereoscopic Visually Guided Mobile Robot

چکیده
Our mobile robot Spinoza embodies a sophisticated real time vision system for control of a mobile robot in a dynamic environment The complexity of our robot architecture arises from the wide variety of tasks that need to be performed and the resulting chal lenge of coordinating multiple distributed concurrent processes on a diverse range of processor architec tures including Transputers digital signal processors and a workstation host The system handles sens ing reasoning and action components of a robot dis tributed over these architectures and responds to un predictable events in an unknown dynamic environ ment Spinoza relies heavily on its capability to per form real time vision processing in order to perform task such as mapping navigation exploration track ing and simple manipulation

Our mobile robot, Spinoza, embodies a sophisticated real-time vision system for control of a mobile robot in a dynamic environment. The complexity of our robot architecture arises f rom the wide variety of tasks that need to be performed and the resulting challenge of coordinating multiple distributed, concurrent processes on a diverse range of processor architectures including Transputers, dig...

This paper presents the application of the Visual Servoing technique for a mobile robot which must execute coordinate motions in a known indoor environment. Our contribution concerns especially the execution of a path expressed as a sequence of several basic motions (like Go to an object, Follow a wall, Turn around a corner,.. .): each one is a visually-guided movement. Namely the robot is cont...
متن کاملEvolving Visually-Guided Robots Able to Discriminate Between Different Landmarks
In this paper we present a set of experiments in which mobile robots able to visually discriminate between different landmarks were obtained through artificial evolution. Individuals were evolved in simulation and then tested on the physical robot. Evolved individuals were able to visually navigate toward the right landmark and to solve the problem that often the sensory states are ambiguous (i...
