Sonar Sensor Models and Their Application to Mobile Robot Localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel approach to mobile robot localization using sonar sensors. This approach is based on the use of particle filters. Each particle is augmented with local environment information which is updated during the mission execution. An experimental characterization of the sonar sensors used is provided in the paper. A probabilistic measurement model that takes into account the sonar uncertainties is defined according to the experimental characterization. The experimental results quantitatively evaluate the presented approach and provide a comparison with other localization strategies based on both the sonar and the laser. Some qualitative results are also provided for visual inspection.

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...

متن کاملParallel Projection Based Self Localization Method for Mobile Navigation Applications
In navigation application of mobile robot, position is estimated based on odometry and the measurement obtained by peripheral devices such as ultra-sonar, range finder, and visual sensor. Odometry is usually unreliable due to the internal factor of encoder device and the external factor of slippage. These kinds of errors accumulated in navigation continuously affect the estimation accuracy (Bor...
متن کاملA New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion
This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
