Hybrid Inspection Robot for Indoor and Outdoor Surveys

Hybrid Indoor and Outdoor Tracking for Mobile 3D Mixed Reality

This paper describes a new hybrid tracking system that integrates standard outdoor augmented reality trackers with a low cost indoor tracker based on the use of fiducial markers. We use multiple cameras, separate orientation sensing, and scene graph integration to improve on similar previous systems. This hybrid tracker allows applications to operate within large indoor and outdoor environments...

Passage Detection in Outdoor / Indoor Environments for Robot Navigation

One of the key challenges in the field of service robotics is a safe and efficient robot navigation. Therefore, the robot should be able to navigate among static and moving obstacles. The aim of this thesis is to develop a novel algorithm for creating topological maps from range maps. The nodes of these maps are areas interconncted by passages. Rather than planning a trajectory to the goal conf...

A Risk and Benefit Assessment for Visual-Only Meat Inspection of UK Indoor and Outdoor Pigs

Vehicle Suspension Inspection by Stewart Robot

The suspension system of a vehicle is one of the most important parts which is involved in the process of vehicle designing. When a vehicle suspension system is designed, the evaluation of its performance against the road disturbances such as shocks and bumps are very important. The most commonly used systems consist of four hydraulic Jacks with mobility in vertical line with low speed and l...

GPS Navigation for Outdoor and Indoor Environments

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an accurate positioning system. The GPS has an accuracy that varies from 4mm up to 11m. This project in lieu of thesis investigates the state of art of the GPS navigation and positioning for outdoor and indoor environments with a particular focus to the outdoor applications. This project includes an overview of GPS system, the GPS segments, the composition...
