RAVON – An autonomous Vehicle for Risky Intervention and Surveillance
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the autonomous outdoor robot RAVON (see Figure 1) which is developed at the University of Kaiserslautern. The vehicle is used as a testbed to investigate behaviour-based strategies on motion adaptation, localisation and navigation in rough outdoor terrain. At the current stage the vehicle features collision-free autonomous navigation along way points given in GPS coordinates.

متن کاملAutonomous camp surveillance with the ROBUDEM robot: challenges and results
Autonomous robotic systems can help for risky interventions to reduce the risk to human lives. An example of such a risky intervention is a camp surveillance scenario, where an environment needs to be patrolled and intruders need to be detected and intercepted. This paper describes the development of a mobile outdoor robot which is capable of performing such a camp surveillance task. The key re...
متن کاملPose Estimation in Rough Terrain for the Outdoor Vehicle Ravon
In contrast to those applications outdoor environments are a great challenge for autonomous robots. Obstacles are unknown, well prepared maps do not exist and the terrain is highly uneven. Dynamic changes of the environment are more frequent than indoors due to weather and daylight influences. These environments require all-terrain vehicles with multiple sensors to detect and analyze the robots...
متن کاملIdentification of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Dynamic Using Extended Kalman Filter with ARMA Noise Model
In the procedure of designing an underwater vehicle or robot, its maneuverability and controllability must be simulated and tested, before the product is finalized for manufacturing. Since the hydrodynamic forces and moments highly affect the dynamic and maneuverability of the system, they must be estimated with a reasonable accuracy. In this study, hydrodynamic coefficients of an autonomous un...
