Ego-Motion Estimation and Collision Detection for Omnidirectional Robots
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose an algorithm to estimate the ego-motion of an omnidirectional robot based on a sequence of position estimates. Thereto, we derive a motion model for omnidirectional robots and an estimation procedure to fit the model to observed positions. Additionally, we show how we can benefit from the velocity estimates deriving an algorithm that recognizes situations in which a robot is blocked by an obstacle.

Mobile Robot Navigation in Dynamic Environments using Omnidirectional Stereo
This paper describes a mobile robot navigation method in dynamic environments. The method uses a real-time omnidirectional stereo which can obtain panoramic range information of 360 degrees. From this panoramic range information, the robot first estimates its ego-motion by comparing the current and the previous observations in order to integrate observations obtained at di erent positions. The ...
متن کاملOmnidirectional Perception for Lightweight Uavs Using a Continuously Rotating 3d Laser Scanner
Many popular unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are restricted in their size and weight, making the design of sensory systems for these robots challenging. We designed a small and lightweight continuously rotating 3D laser scanner—allowing for environment perception in a range of 30 m in almost all directions. This sensor it well suited for applications such as 3D obstacle detection, 6D motion esti...
متن کاملFull-body collision detection and reaction with omnidirectional mobile platforms: a step towards safe human-robot interaction
In this paper, we develop estimation and control methods for quickly reacting to collisions between omnidirectional mobile platforms and their environment. To enable the full-body detection of external forces, we use torque sensors located in the robot’s drivetrain. Using model based techniques we estimate, with good precision, the location, direction, and magnitude of collision forces, and we ...

متن کاملPath Following and Velocity Optimizing for an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot
In this paper, the path following controller of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) has been extended in such a way that the forward velocity has been optimized and the actuator velocity constraints have been taken into account. Both have been attained through the proposed model predictive control (MPC) framework. The forward velocity has been included into the objective function, while the a...
