Real-time visual behaviours for navigating a mobile robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an approach for using vision as the primary source of sensing to guide a mobile robot in an unknown environment. We define a set of primitive visual behaviours for navigating a mobile robot in realtime. By combining such behaviours with a purposive map, our mobile robot exhibits a goal seeking behaviour. We present a fast segmentation technique for vision processing. This processing technique is used by different behaviours to produce an overall competent behaviour in our Yamabico robot. Experimental results show that our robot can navigate competently in dynamic indoor environments.

Navigation 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 ...
متن کاملPerson Tracking, Pursuit & Interception by Mobile Robot
We present a method of tracking a human target whilst navigating in an unknown environment using a combination of visual and laser range sensing. The target’s legs detected by laser initialize both the pursuit process and modelling of target visual appearance. Intermittent recognition & tracking is possible using the learned visual model, as would likely occur in real pursuit scenarios when the...
متن کاملVisual Tracking using Learning Histogram of Oriented Gradients by SVM on Mobile Robot
The intelligence of a mobile robot is highly dependent on its vision. The main objective of an intelligent mobile robot is in its ability to the online image processing, object detection, and especially visual tracking which is a complex task in stochastic environments. Tracking algorithms suffer from sequence challenges such as illumination variation, occlusion, and background clutter, so an a...
متن کاملSimultaneous Localization and Map Building Algorithm for Real-time Applications
Mobile robot navigation in unstructured environment is a challenging task due to the uncertain nature of the real world. Navigating using visual landmarks could be a mandatory skill together with the ability of building a representation of the world around the robot. This mapping aptitude should be implemented as an efficient real-time task, even if a large number of elements have to be include...
متن کاملInsect inspired behaviours for the autonomous control of mobile robots
Animals navigate through various uncontrolled environments with seemingly little effort. Flying insects, especially, are quite adept at manoeuvring in complex, unpredictable and possibly hostile environments. Through both simulation and real-world experiments, we demonstrate the feasibility of equipping a mobile robot with the ability to navigate a corridor environment, in real time, using prin...
