Sensor Based Door Navigation for a Nonholonomic Vehicle
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a sensor based algorithm for guiding a nonholonomic platform, such as a wheelchair, through a doorway. The controller uses information from a camera system and a laser range finder to perform image-based navigation. Simulations of the resultant switching controller are presented along with experimental results. A simple obstacle avoidance algorithm is also implemented on the experimental platform. Finally, we have considered the input of limited field-of-view constraints on this controller. All of these components together lead to a modal, image-based approach that will safely and robustly navigate a nonholonomic robot with sensor constraints through a doorway.

Calibration of an Inertial Accelerometer using Trained Neural Network by Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm for Vehicle Navigation
The designing of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles needs measurement of dynamical variations of vehicle, such as acceleration, velocity and yaw rate. Designed adaptive controllers to control lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics are based on the measured variables. Inertial MEMS-based sensors have some benefits including low price and low consumption that make them ...
متن کاملA Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...

متن کاملTracking Control and Adaptive Local Navigation for Nonholonomic Mobile Robots
Abstract. A reactive tracking control law and a flexible local navigation method for non-holonomic mobile vehicles are presented. The tracking controller enables noise tolerant trajectory following and collision avoidance with a feedback control loop through raw sensor data (laser scanner, sonars, IR). The controller needs no knowledge about absolute robot coordinates. Based on the tracking con...
