چکیده

The ALVINN (Autonomous Land Vehicle In a Neural Network) project addresses the problem of training arti cial neural networks in real time to perform di cult perception tasks. ALVINN is a back-propagation network designed to drive the CMU Navlab, a modi ed Chevy van. This paper describes the training techniques which allow ALVINN to learn in under 5 minutes to autonomously control the Navlab by watching a human driver's reactions. Using these techniques ALVINN has been trained to drive in a variety of circumstances including single-lane paved and unpaved roads, and multi-lane lined and unlined roads, at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour.

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 ...

Neural Network Vision for Robot Driving

Many real world problems require a degree of exibility that is dii-cult to achieve using hand programmed algorithms. One such domain is vision-based autonomous driving. In this task, the dual challenges of a constantly changing environment coupled with a real time processing constrain make the exibility and eeciency of a machine learning system essential. This chapter describes just such a lear...

Visual Measurement Estimation for Autonomous VehicleNavigationMario

The autonomous navigation of a mobile vehicle can be described as the task it undertakes to move itself in the environment through a series of positions based on information gathered by its sensors. In order to accomplish this task, the vehicle has to cope with two main subtasks namely obstacle avoidance and self localization. The later implies in the ability to determine its position and orien...

Calibration of an Inertial Accelerometer using Trained Neural Network by Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm for Vehicle Navigation

The designing of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles needs measurement of dynamical variations of vehicle, such as acceleration, velocity and yaw rate. Designed adaptive controllers to control lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics are based on the measured variables. Inertial MEMS-based sensors have some benefits including low price and low consumption that make them ...
