Self-localization Method Using Two Landmarks and Dead Reckoning for Autonomous Mobile Soccer Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new method of self-localization using two landmarks and dead reckoning for a soccer robot equipped with an omnidirectional camera as a local vision sensor. This method requires low computational cost. Thanks to rapid process, the system can afford to run multiple localization process in parallel resulting robust and accurate localization. An experimental result in the field of Robocup Middle-size league indicates that the approach is reliable.

A New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion
This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
متن کاملSensor Fusion with Coordinated Mobile Robots
Robust localization is a prerequisite for mobile robot autonomy. In many situations the GPS signal is not available and thus an additional localization system is required. A simple approach is to apply localization based on dead reckoning by use of wheel encoders but it results in large estimation errors. With exteroceptive sensors such as a laser range finder natural landmarks in the environme...
متن کاملEffective Mechatronic Models and Methods for Implementation an Autonomous Soccer Robot
Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
متن کاملLandmark Based Global Self-localization of Mobile Soccer Robots
We present a stereo vision based global self-localization strategy for tiny autonomous mobile robots in a well-known dynamic environment. Global localization is required for an initial startup or when the robot loses track of its pose during navigation. Existing approaches are based on dense range scans, active beacon systems, artificial landmarks, bearing measurements using omni-directional ca...
متن کاملCollaborative 3-D localization of robots with heterogeneous inter-robot relative measurements
We propose a method for collaborative localization of multiple autonomous robots that fuses relative-pose measurements of each robot with various types of inter-vehicle relative measurements. We do not rely on the use of any maps, or the ability to recognize landmarks in the environment. Instead we assume that noisy relative measurements between pairs of robots which can be one of any of the fo...
