Localization of a Mobile Robot Using Natural Landmarks and Sensor Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, localization of a mobile robot is accomplished using laser range finder, compass and natural landmark. Corners in a room are used as natural landmarks. It is assumed that mobile robot is positioned to sense corners and there is no other corner like objects in the environment. Once a corner is sensed, the position of this corner is determined using the robot heading which is indicated by the compass. Experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A 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 ...

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 کامل"Localization Space: " A Framework for Localization and Planning, for Systems using a Sensor/Landmarks Module
One of the common ways of localization in robotics is the triangulation using a system composed of a sensor and some landmarks (which can be artificial or natural). This paper presents a framework, namely the Localization Space, in order to deal with problems such as the landmark placement and motion planning including the localization constraint. Based on this framework, we present general app...
متن کاملSensor Fusion with Coordinated Mobile Robots
Robust localization is a prerequisite for mobile robot autonomy. In many situations the GPS signal is not available and thus an additional localization system is required. A simple approach is to apply localization based on dead reckoning by use of wheel encoders but it results in large estimation errors. With exteroceptive sensors such as a laser range finder natural landmarks in the environme...
متن کاملEffects of Moving Landmark’s Speed on Multi-Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Dynamic Environments
Even when simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solutions have been broadly developed, the vast majority of them relate to a single robot performing measurements in static environments. Researches show that the performance of SLAM algorithms deteriorates under dynamic environments. In this paper, a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (MR-SLAM) system is implemented within a...
