A multirange architecture for collision-free off-road robot navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a multi-layered mapping, planning, and command execution system developed and tested on the LAGR mobile robot. Key to robust performance under uncertainty is the combination of a short-range perception system operating at high frame rate and low resolution and a long-range, adaptive vision system operating at lower frame rate and higher resolution. The short-range module performs local planning and obstacle avoidance with fast reaction times, while the long-range module performs strategic visual planning. Probabilistic traversability labels provided by the perception modules are combined and accumulated into a robot-centered hyperbolic-polar map with a 200 meter effective range. Instead of using a dynamical model of the robot for short-range planning, the system uses a large lookup table of physically-possible trajectory segments recorded on the robot in a wide variety of driving conditions. Localization is performed using a combination of GPS, wheel odometry, IMU, and a high-speed, low-complexity rotational visual odometry module. The end to end system was developed and tested on the LAGR mobile robot, and was verified in independent government tests.

Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
متن کاملNavigation of Autonomous Mobile Robots
Navigation of autonomous vehicles and robots can be divided into two categories: indoor navigation and outdoor navigation. In general the outdoor navigation is more difficult and complex task because often the environment does not have characteristic points that can be identified and with respect to which robots could relate their position. If environment is unstructured (e.g. off-road environm...
متن کاملUsing Passages to Support Off-road Robot Navigation
In this paper an approach for the detection of passages and their use in autonomous off-road robot navigation is presented. The authors argue that many two-layered architectures of robot navigation systems suffer from the gap between the typically coarse-grained high-level path-planning and the basically reactive low-level collision avoidance. In this context, passages shall be defined as paths...
