Landmark-Based Navigation for a Mobile Robot

چکیده

In this paper we present a landmark based navigation mechanism for a mobile robot. The system uses a self-organising mechanism to map the environment as the robot is led around that environment by an operator. Detected landmarks, and their relative position towards each other, are recorded in a map that can subsequently be used to plan and execute paths from the robot's current location to a `goal' location speciied by the user. The main motivation for the research described in this paper is to develop a mobile robot navigation system that is robust (through the use of perceptual landmarks), and allows the robot to plan arbitrary paths within its known environment. The system presented here achieves these objectives.

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 ...

A 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...
