چکیده
Autonomous surface vehicles are used to explore, measure and observe many kinds of environments which are often complex and arise many challenges. The ASAROME project 1 (Autonomous SAiling Robot for Oceanographic MEasurements) is focused on an autonomous sailboat to make measurements and observations in marine environments for extended periods. This paper describes a fuzzy inference engine which integrates a routing strategy for obstacle avoidance using an omnidirectional camera for obstacle detection system.

Effective Mechatronic Models and Methods for Implementation an Autonomous Soccer Robot
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...

This paper presents the results of a project to develop an omni-directional robotic system at NASA Langley’s Robotics and Intelligent Machines Lab. The robot, named Mobius, was created as part of an investigation into omni-directional motion (using four Mecanum wheels) and fuzzy-logic control. The robot uses a highlevel processor running Linux to connect to wireless networks, process user-input...
متن کاملIndoor Robot Navigation With Single Camera Vision
In the large area of autonomous robot navigation, encompassing map creation, path planning, and self-localization, we develop the idea of a simple autonomous agent relying only on vision information. Our integrated navigation system replicates some functions of natural systems, as using little a-priori knowledge, on board computation, no omni-directional vision. Since our goal is essentially to...
متن کاملOmni-directional Vision for Robot Navigation
We describe a method for visual based robot navigation with a single omni-directional (catadioptric) camera. We show how omni-directional images can be used to generate the representations needed for two main navigation modalities: Topological Navigation and Visual Path Following. Topological Navigation relies on the robot’s qualitative global position, estimated from a set of omni-directional ...
متن کاملImage Memory Based Navigation with 3D-2D Edge Matching for Mobile Robot Equipped with Omni-directional Camera
Map information is important for self localization and path planning when mobile robots accomplish autonomous tasks. We use 3D environment model containing color data and structure data of the environment. We propose a method for image memory based navigation of a mobile robot with 3D-2D edge matching by using a 3D environment model. Our proposed self localization method is composed of two phas...
