چکیده

This article presents a robust approach to navigating at high speed across desert terrain. A central theme of this approach is the combination of simple ideas and components to build a capable and robust system. A pair of robots were developed, which completed a 212 km Grand Challenge desert race in approximately 7 h. A pathcentric navigation system uses a combination of LIDAR and RADAR based perception sensors to traverse trails and avoid obstacles at speeds up to 15 m/s. The onboard navigation system leverages a • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Online Speed Adaptation Using Supervised Learning for High-Speed, Off-Road Autonomous Driving

The mobile robotics community has traditionally addressed motion planning and navigation in terms of steering decisions. However, selecting the best speed is also important – beyond its relationship to stopping distance and lateral maneuverability. Consider a high-speed (35 mph) autonomous vehicle driving off-road through challenging desert terrain. The vehicle should drive slowly on terrain th...

Terrain Roughness Identification for High-Speed UGVs

High-speed navigation of autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) in rough unknown terrains requires the detection and identification of the terrain in order to make effective navigation decisions. This paper investigates a geometrical approach to identifying terrain based on its roughness using the terrain elevations from a point cloud generated using a 3D camera. This roughness, called the ...

Terrain Classification for Traversability Analysis for Autonomous Robot Navigation in Unknown Natural Terrain

Autonomous robot navigation in unknown natural terrain is the key requirement of a robotic system such as a rover as the natural terrain is unpredictable. For safe and robust navigation a robot must possess onboard intelligence to perceive the terrain ahead so that it can avoid hazardous areas by discriminating the navigable regions for traversal thereby optimizing its speed and increasing its ...
