چکیده

This paper presents two computer vision algorithms which address complementary aspects of the mobile robot navigation problem. The rst is a beacon system which allows for reliable and accurate robot localization, the second is a novel simple, but highly eeective, algorithm for colour based classiication which is used for reactive control. Two reactive control algorithms are built using the classiier: obstacle avoidance and robot convoying. The classiier is able to learn models of navigable space completely automatically.

Effective 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...

A Panoramic Color Vision System for Following Ill-Structured Roads

The ability to follow ill-structured roads, such as footpaths, dirt tracks and corridors, is important for mobile robot navigation. This paper presents a panoramic colour vision based road following system for ill-structured roads. Roads are modeled with rapidly adapting 3D colour histograms and a simple yet generic geometric model. The computational complexity of the geometric model fitting st...

Navigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network

Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...

A New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space

In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...
