This paper describes an educational remote experiment for path planning with mobile robot hardware which is accessible via the internet. The experiment uses a nonholonomic car-like mobile robot with an Ackermansteering and demonstrates the problems of the inverse kinematics of this kind of mobile robot. It emphasizes the educational aspects, shows how to combine primitive manoeuvres in order to...

In this paper we have considered the problem of outdoor mobile robot navigation using dead reckoning (DR) system and single GPS receiver. DR is a very simple and practical positioning technique. It is used in various positioning and navigation applications, especially for the mobile robot. DR can provide short term precise navigation information. But its errors will generally accumulate as the ...

Predicting and identifying an optimal navigational forecasting for a mobile robot agent is considered to be one of the key challenges for researchers in the field of AI and robotics. A mobile robot agent participating for wide range of mission critical application will explore into an unknown environment will be challenging criteria, considering its contraints such as time, cost, energy, explor...

This report describes progress in development of an integrated mobile robot system at the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute from July 1987 to June 1988. This research was sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and monitored by the US Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories under contract DACA76-86-C-0019. Our program includes a broad agenda of research in the development of ...

This paper presents a method for navigating a nonholonomic autonomous mobile robot in a workshop based on a global vision system. In order to deal with uncertainty in the environment, a fuzzy logic strategy is used to represent mobile robot navigation behavior. The method is implemented on a nonholonomic mobile robot in IRP in Germany, and some experimental operations are performed to demonstra...

Abstract— This document is the first work done in the set of experiments performed in the laboratory on the navigation mobile robot equipped with ultrasonic sensors. This paper presents theoretical and experimental analysis of the steering system of a mobile robot according to the time difference between the signal of the sensor and rotating wheels. Through experiments that will be presented to...

Several researchers, present authors included, envision personal mobile robot agents that can assist humans in their daily tasks. Despite many advances in robotics, such mobile robot agents still face many limitations in their perception, cognition, and action capabilities. In this work, we propose a symbiotic interaction between robot agents and humans to overcome the robot limitations while a...

This paper analyses the statements of video imaging, CT, infrared thermography and radiography applied in the road nondestructive testing, and design a path planning mobile robot with GPS positioning which can remarkably increase the efficient of road nondestructive testing. Besides, appropriate algorithm for nondestructive testing on the road autonomous mobile robot path planning is given. Thi...

We address the problem of detecting and tracking people with a mobile robot. The need for following a person with a mobile robot arises in many different service robotic applications. The main problems of this task are realtimeconstraints, a changing background, varying illumination conditions and a non-rigid shape of the person to be tracked. The presented system has been tested extensively on...

Neural network based controller is used for controlling a mobile robot system. Feedback error learning (FEL) can be regarded as a hybrid control to guarantee stability of control approach. This paper presents simulation of a mobile robot system controlled by a FEL neural network and PD controllers. This feedback error-learning controller benefits from both classic and adaptive controller proper...
