Experiments in sensing and communication for robot convoy navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with coordinating behaviour in a multi-autonomous robot system. When two or more autonomous robots must interact in order to accomplish some common goal, communication between the robots is essential. Di erent inter-robot communications strategies give rise to di erent overall system performance and reliability. After a brief consideration of some theoretical approaches to multiplerobot collections, we present concrete implementations of di erent strategies for convoy-like behaviour. The convoy system is based around two RWI B12 mobile robots and uses only passive visual sensing for inter-robot communication. The issues related to di erent communication strategies are considered.

متن کاملNavigation 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 ...
متن کاملA New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space
In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...

متن کاملIntelligent behaviors for a convoy of indoor mobile robots operating in unknown environments
Intelligent behaviors allow a convoy of small indoor robots to perform high-level mission tasking. These behaviors include various implementations of map building, localization, obstacle avoidance, object recognition, and navigation. Several behaviors have been developed by SSC San Diego, with integration of other behaviors developed by opensource projects and a technology transfer effort funde...
