چکیده

Vision is a very important sense for humans. Robots also need to be aware of their environment for working in it. This is even more important for mobile robots that operate in unknown environments that are not prepared for robots. In this paper, we focus on the aspect of navigation of mobile robots for applications in search and rescue as well as planetary exploration. We discuss a typical vision pipeline and navigation stack that has been developed at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). In recent years, we have successfully applied the solution to a number of crawling, driving and flying robots. We present mobile systems in several applications and also discuss the relation between computer vision and photogrammetry.

Navigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network

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 ...

A New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space

In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...
