GPS Waypoint Navigation via Head Mounted Vibrotactor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this project was to create a mode of pedestrian navigation via a single head mounted vibrotactor. Our intention was to achieve accurate waypoint navigation with fewer tactors than in previous works, thereby introducing a simpler system and increasing cost effectiveness. Test results concluded that average walking speeds through our course were similar when given verbal direction and when utilizing the head mounted system.

eNav: Smartphone-based Energy Efficient Location Sensing for Low-Power Vehicular Navigation
This paper presents eNav, a smartphone-based vehicular GPS navigation system that has an energy-saving location sensing mode capable of drastically reducing navigation energy needs. Traditional navigation systems sample the phone GPS at a fixed rate (usually around 1Hz), regardless of factors such as current vehicle speed and distance from the next navigation waypoint. This practice results in ...

متن کاملVision-based waypoint following using templates and artificial neural networks
This paper presents a learning-based vehicle control system capable of navigating autonomously. Our approach is based on image processing, road and navigable area recognition, template matching classification for navigation control, and trajectory selection based on GPS way-points. The vehicle follows a trajectory defined by GPS points avoiding obstacles using a single monocular camera and main...
