Terrain characterization and classification with a mobile robot
This paper introduces novel methods for terrain classification and characterization with a mobile robot. In the context of this paper, terrain classification aims at associating terrains with one of a few predefined, commonly known categories, such as gravel, sand, or asphalt. Terrain characterization, on the other hand, aims at determining key parameters of the terrain that affect its ability ...
متن کاملTerrain Trafficability Characterization with a Mobile Robot
Most research on off-road mobile robot sensing focuses on obstacle negotiation, path planning, and position estimation. These issues have conventionally been the foremost factors limiting the performance and speeds of mobile robots. Very little attention has been paid to date to the issue of terrain trafficability, that is, the terrain’s ability to support vehicular traffic. Yet, trafficability...
متن کاملUnsupervised Learning for Mobile Robot Terrain Classification
In this thesis, we consider the problem of having a mobile robot autonomously learn to perceive differences between terrains. The targeted application is for terrain identification. Robust terrain identification can be used to enhance the capabilities of mobile systems, both in terms of locomotion and navigation. For example, a legged amphibious robot that has learned to differentiate sand from...
متن کاملTerrain Classification Using a Hexapod Robot
The effectiveness of a legged robot’s gait is highly dependent on the ground cover of the terrain the robot is traversing. It is therefore advantageous for a legged robot to adapt its behaviour to suit the environment. In order to achieve this, the robot must be able to detect and classify the type of ground cover it is traversing. We present a novel approach for ground cover classification tha...
متن کاملVisual Terrain Classification for Outdoor Mobile Robots
In this thesis we present a comparison of multiple approaches to visual terrain classification for outdoor mobile robots based on local features. For this purpose, we put a camera on a mobile robot and use it to capture images which are then analyzed to recognize the terrains present in these images. There are two sets of approaches that we use to classify terrains. The first is based on greysc...
