A class of intelligent agents for coordinated control of outdoor terrain mapping UGVs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article develops a systemsand control-oriented intelligent agent framework called the hybrid intelligent control agent (HICA) and describes its composition into multiagent systems. It is essentially developed around a hybrid control system core so that knowledge-based planning and coordination can be integrated with verified hybrid control primitives to achieve the coordinated control of multiple multi-mode dynamical systems. The scheme is applied to the control of a team of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) engaged in an outdoor terrain mapping task. Results are demonstrated experimentally. r 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Terrain Roughness Identification for High-Speed UGVs
High-speed navigation of autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) in rough unknown terrains requires the detection and identification of the terrain in order to make effective navigation decisions. This paper investigates a geometrical approach to identifying terrain based on its roughness using the terrain elevations from a point cloud generated using a 3D camera. This roughness, called the ...
متن کاملAssessment of Terrain and Land Use/Land Cover Changes of Mine Sites using Geospatial Techniques in Plateau State, Nigeria
In this paper, we report a geospatial assessment of the selected mine sites in the Plateau State, Nigeria. The aim of this work is to determine the impact of mining on the terrain as well as the Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) of the host communities. The Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) is used for the terrain mapping. The derived impact of mining on LULC between 1975 and 2014 is determined...
متن کاملQuadrotor UAV Guidence For Ground Moving Target Tracking
The studies in aerial vehicles modeling and control have been increased rapidly recently. In this paper , a coordination of two types of heterogeneous robots , namely unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is considered. In this paper the UAV plays the role of a virtual leader for the UGVs. The system consists of a vision- based target detection algorithm that uses the ...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of temporal range registration for autonomous vehicle navigation
In this article, we evaluate the performance of an iterative registration algorithm for position estimation of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) operating in unstructured environments. Field data obtained from trials on UGVs traversing undulating outdoor terrain is used to quantify the performance of the algorithm in producing continual position estimates. These estimates are then compared with t...
