A Vision Based System for Goal-Directed Obstacle Avoidance used in the RC’03 Obstacle Avoidance Challenge
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a complete system for obstacle avoidance for a mobile robot. It was used in the RoboCup 2003 obstacle avoidance challenge in the Sony Four Legged League. The system enables the robot to detect unknown obstacles and reliably avoid them while advancing toward a target. It uses monocular vision data with a limited field of view. Obstacles are detected on a level surface of known color(s). A radial model is constructed from the detected obstacles giving the robot a representation of its surroundings that integrates both current and recent vision information. Sectors of the model currently outside the current field of view of the robot are updated using odometry. Ways of using this model to achieve accurate and fast obstacle avoidance in a dynamic environment are presented and evaluated. The system proved highly successful by winning the obstacle avoidance challenge and was also used in the RoboCup championship games.

متن کاملDynamic Obstacle Avoidance by Distributed Algorithm based on Reinforcement Learning (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper we focus on the application of reinforcement learning to obstacle avoidance in dynamic Environments in wireless sensor networks. A distributed algorithm based on reinforcement learning is developed for sensor networks to guide mobile robot through the dynamic obstacles. The sensor network models the danger of the area under coverage as obstacles, and has the property of adoption o...
متن کاملDesigning Path for Robot Arm Extensions Series with the Aim of Avoiding Obstruction with Recurring Neural Network
In this paper, recurrent neural network is used for path planning in the joint space of the robot with obstacle in the workspace of the robot. To design the neural network, first a performance index has been defined as sum of square of error tracking of final executor. Then, obstacle avoidance scheme is presented based on its space coordinate and its minimum distance between the obstacle and ea...
متن کاملObstacle Avoidance and Safeguarding for a Lunar Rover
We are developing techniques for safeguarding the remote operation of lunar rovers. This paper presents two complementary techniques: One, based on stereo vision, evaluates the traversability of paths the rover could follow, and produces preferences for steering directions. The other, based on laser proximity sensing, looks for hazards immediately in front of the rover, commanding an emergency ...
متن کاملA Novel Stereo based Obstacle Avoidance System for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
The use of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been on the rise. They are used to replace an ever-increasing amount of labor. There is a need for unmanned aerial systems to operate safely in the environment around them. The work in this paper aims at creating an obstacle avoidance system using Stereo Vision. The work uses standard block matching algorithms. OpenCV and the KTTI Vision B...
