An Exception Handling Model Applied to Autonomous Mobile Robots1

چکیده
In traditional robot applications the successful execution of the robot task is ensured by reducing the uncertainty in the environment to an absolute minimum. Extending the applications of robots into less controlled environments requires that the robot be able to recognize and respond to unforeseen and non-nominal situations. Mobile robots or manipulators designed for a partially structured environment provide a prime example of such an application. In this paper we describe a robot architecture suitable for robot applications in incompletely known environments. It is based on concepts of elementary operations and exception handling developed at our institutes

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...
متن کاملSfx: An Architecture For Action-oriented Sensor Fusion
Sensor fusion has an important role in the navigation of autonomous mobile robots. Our research has generated a generic and robust process model based on the action-oriented perception paradigm. The autonomous execution and exception handling abilities of this model have been implemented as the Sensor Fusion Effects (SFX) architecture. The key aspects of this implementation are the sensing plan...
متن کاملClassifying and Recovering from Sensing Failures in Autonomous Mobile Robots
This paper presents a characterization of sensing failures in autonomous mobile robots, a methodology for classiication and recovery, and a demonstration of this approach on a mobile robot performing landmark navigation. A sensing failure is any event leading to defective perception, including sensor malfunctions, software errors, environmental changes, and errant expectations. The approach dem...

متن کاملEstimating Time Available for Sensor Fusion Exception Handling
In previous work, we have developed a generate, test, and debug methodology for detecting, classifying, and responding to sensing failures in autonomous and semi-autonomous mobile robots. An important issue has arisen from these efforts: how much time is there available to classify the cause of the failure and determine an alternative sensing strategy before the robot mission must be terminated...
