چکیده
Abstract This report reviews progress at Carnegie Mellon from August 16,1990 to August 15,1991 on research sponsored by DARPA, DOD, monitored by the US Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories under contract DACA 76-89C-0014, titled "Perception for Outdoor Navigation".This report reviews progress at Carnegie Mellon from August 16,1990 to August 15,1991 on research sponsored by DARPA, DOD, monitored by the US Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories under contract DACA 76-89C-0014, titled "Perception for Outdoor Navigation". Research supported by this contract includes perception for road following, terrain mapping for off-road navigation, and systems software for building integrated mobile robots. We overview our efforts for the year, and list our publications and personnel, then provide further detail on several of our subprojects.

We describe the CMU Sidewalk Navigation System, which can drive a vehicle in the outdoor environment of the CMU campus. The system includes all modules necessary for outdoor navigation .. modules for route planning, local path planning, vehicle driving, perception, and map data. The perception module uses sensor fusion with color and rage data to analyze complex outdoor scenes accurately and ef...
متن کاملAutonomous robot navigation in outdoor cluttered pedestrian walkways
This paper describes an implementation of a mobile robot system for autonomous navigation in outdoor concurred walkways. The task was to navigate through non-modified pedestrian paths with people and bicycles passing by. The robot has multiple redundant sensors which include wheel encoders, an IMU, a DGPS and four laser scanner sensors. All the computation was done in a single laptop computer. ...
