Navigation of simulated mobile robots in the Webots environment
نویسنده
چکیده
Development of various robotic algorithms can be supported with the aid of robot simulation programs. We present the Webots mobile robot simulator and its applicability to handle machine-learning methods. Furthermore, we show advantages and disadvantages of different navigation paradigms. We focus our investigation on metric navigation and especially on the creation and the usage of occupancy grids. We show a working method on how to use occupancy grid to efficiently navigate in Webots.

Combining metric and topological navigation of simulated robots
Mobile robotics and robot navigation is a growing area of scientific research. Robot simulators are useful designing and analizing tools of this domain. Webots ([1]) is a well-known representant of these programs, a three-dimensional mobile robot simulator. Various guidance principles can be developed in C/C++ or Java programming language with the use of Webots controller programs. In this pape...
متن کاملTopological Navigation of Simulated Robots using Occupancy Grid
Formerly I presented a metric navigation method in the Webots mobile robot simulator. The navigating Khepera-like robot builds an occupancy grid of the environment and explores the square-shaped room around with a value iteration algorithm. Now I created a topological navigation procedure based on the occupancy grid process. The extension by a skeletonization algorithm results a graph of import...

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 ...
