Multiple camera, laser rangefinder, and encoder data fusion for navigation of a differentially steered three-wheeled autonomous vehicle
Virginia Tech is currently developing a new autonomous vehicle as a research platform. This vehicle is being used to investigate techniques in autonomous landmine/UXO detection. In addition, it was entered in the 2000 Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition. This vehicle senses its surroundings using two (non-stereo) color CCD cameras, a SICK laser range finder, and wheel encoders. The cameras g...
متن کاملDesign of a Low Reynolds Number Propulsion System for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
A methodology for the design of small autonomous underwater vehicle propulsion systems has been developed and applied to the Virginia Tech 690 AUV. The methodology is novel in that it incorporates fast design level codes capable of predicting the viscous effects of low Reynolds number flow that is experienced by small, slow turning propellers. The methodology consists of determining the minimum...
متن کاملMITRE Meteor: An off-road autonomous vehicle for DARPA's Grand Challenge
The MITRE Meteor team fielded an autonomous vehicle that competed in DARPA’s 2005 Grand Challenge race. This paper describes the team’s approach to building its robotic vehicle, the vehicle and components that let the vehicle see and act, and the computer software that made the vehicle autonomous. It presents how the team prepared for the race and how their vehicle performed.
متن کاملObservability Analysis in Navigation Systems with an Underwater Vehicle Application
Precise navigation of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) is one of the most important challenges in the realization of distributed and cooperative algorithms for marine applications. We investigate an underwater navigation technology that enables an AUV to compute its trajectory in the presence of unknown currents in real time and simultaneously estimate the currents, using range or distance ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Implementation of a Self-Building Global Map for Autonomous Navigation
(ABSTRACT) Students at Virginia Tech have been developing autonomous vehicles for the past five years. The purpose of these vehicles has been primarily for entry in the annual international Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC), however further applications for autonomous vehicles range from UneXploded Ordinance (UXO) detection and removal to planetary exploration. Recently, Virginia Te...
