A Terrain-Based Path Planning Method for Mobile Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a technique for incorporating terrain traversability data into a global path planning method for field mobile robots operating on rough natural terrain. The focus of this approach is on assessing the traversability characteristics of the global terrain using a multi-valued map representation of traversal dificulty, and using this information to compute a traversal cost function to ensure robot survivability. The traversal cost is then utilized by a global path planner to find an optimally safe path through the terrain. A graphical simulator for the terrain-basedpath planning is presented. The path planner is applied to a commercial Pioneer 2-AT robot andfield test results are provided.

Autonomous mobile robots operate under partially or fully unknown environments. Based on sensor information robot identifies various obstacles and plans its path to reach the target without collision. These real time systems may not support extensive approaches for Path Planning and Terrain Mapping, due to their limited processing and memory capabilities. This paper proposes a simple distance b...
متن کاملMultiresolution rough terrain motion planning
We describe a new approach to the problem of motion planning for mobile robots on natural, nonhomogenous terrain. Our approach computes a multiresolution representation of the terrain using wavelets, and hierarchically plans the path through sections which are well approximated on coarser levels and relatively smooth. Unlike most methods, the hierarchical approximation errors are used explicitl...
متن کاملPerformance-Based Rough Terrain Navigation for Nonholonomic Mobile Robots
This paper addresses path planning and control of mobile robots in rough terrain environments. Previous research separates path planning and control into two different problems and addresses them in different contexts. Instead, we formulate these issues in connected modules with performance requirement considerations in each module. We advocate the idea that by incorporating criterion-optimizin...
