SVMs for Vibration-Based Terrain Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
When an outdoor mobile robot traverses different types of ground surfaces, different types of vibrations are induced in the body of the robot. These vibrations can be used to learn a discrimination between different surfaces and to classify the current terrain. Recently, we presented a method that uses Support Vector Machines for classification, and we showed results on data collected with a hand-pulled cart. In this paper, we show that our approach also works well on an outdoor robot. Furthermore, we more closely investigate in which direction the vibration should be measured. Finally, we present a simple but effective method to improve the classification by combining measurements taken in multiple directions.

A Comparison of Classifier Performance for Vibration-based Terrain Classification
The ability to recognize the encountered terrain is an essential part of any terrain-dependent control system designed for mobile robots. Terrains such as sand and gravel make vehicle mobility more difficult and thus reduce vehicle performance. To alleviate this problem the vehicle control system can be tuned for maximum speeds, turning angles, accelerations and other conditions to help adapt t...

To improve the response of an autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) as it seeks to complete an outdoor mission, the control system of the vehicle should vary as it encounters specific terrains such as sand, gravel, mud, or ice. To determine when to switch the control system it is beneficial to have accurate and fast online terrain classification. The earliest terrain classification algorithms were vi...
