Implementation of Autonomous Mobile Robot in SmartFactory

a practical approach to implementation an autonomous soccer robot

due to their advantages, omni-directional mobile robots have found many applications especially in robotic soccer competitions. however, omni directional navigation system, omni-vision system and kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. this situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensive omni directional mobile robot. such...

ODYSSEUS: An Autonomous Mobile Robot

Odysseus is a small wheeled robot equipped with an arm, sonar sensors and a camera system. It is connected by radio links to a pool of computers that control the robot. A main emphasise in the software implementation of Odysseus' control is the ability to act and react in real-time. Odysseus combines low-level reactive mechanisms with global planning and exception handling, using a wide variety...

An Autonomous Navigational Mobile Robot

Autonomous mobile robot assisted herding

In this paper, we describe work that begins to address some of the issues related to developing an autonomous mobile robotic capability to assist humans with herding animals. A novel aspect of this work is the development of a capability to convey instructions to the robot via movements of a “toy human.” In this work, no other explicit form of communication from the human to the robot is requir...

The MARIE Autonomous Mobile Robot

In this paper an experimental platform developed for the ESPRIT project MARIE is described. The vehicle has an automobile-like kinematics and is fitted with a control computer and ultra-sonic sensors. The control software has a layered, modular structure and standardized interfaces, suitable for an experimental platform. The principal software modules and the experiments performed to test the i...
