Path Planning for Visual servoing and Navigation using Convex Optimization

چکیده
Exploiting visual cues to control systems for robotic applications is a promising idea. Practically, they are usable only if the end result accedes to the restrictions of the specific environment. These restrictions are like the limited field of view of the camera and physical constraints of the workspace of the robot. Hence, there is a need for a general framework that can be used adaptively across various environments. We develop such an algorithmic framework that is flexible to accommodate various kinds of constraints and generate a solution that is optimal in the sense of the considered error measure. We perform a constrained optimization on the error in a convex domain considering all the necessary constraints using convex optimization techniques and further extend it to nonconvex domains. We utilize branch-and-bound algorithm to divide the problem of optimizing over a range of rotations into simpler problems and solve for the optimal rotation. We demonstrate the performance of the algorithm by generating control signals in a simulated framework for visual servoing and in a real-world for robot

Linear Time Varying MPC Based Path Planning of an Autonomous Vehicle via Convex Optimization
In this paper a new method is introduced for path planning of an autonomous vehicle. In this method, the environment is considered cluttered and with some uncertainty sources. Thus, the state of detected object should be estimated using an optimal filter. To do so, the state distribution is assumed Gaussian. Thus the state vector is estimated by a Kalman filter at each time step. The estimation...

Hitchhiking is a means of transportation gained by asking other people for a (free) ride. We developed a multi-robot system which is the first of its kind to incorporate hitchhiking in robotics, and discuss its advantages. Our method allows the hitchhiker robot to skip redundant computations in navigation like path planning, localization, obstacle avoidance, and map update by completely relying...
متن کاملVision-based navigation and environmental representations with an omnidirectional camera
This paper proposes a method for the visual-based navigation of a mobile robot in indoor environments, using a single omni-directional (catadioptric) camera. The geometry of the catadioptric sensor and the method used to obtain a bird’s eye (orthographic) view of the ground plane are presented. This representation significantly simplifies the solution to navigation problems, by eliminating any ...
