چکیده

In this paper, we report how to navigate a mobile robot using natural landmarks such as trees and hedges on outdoor campus of university. At rst, we propose an automatic natural landmark acquisition by Landmark Agent (LmA). Next, we propose an autonomous navigation using the acquired natural landmarks. Furthermore, we will discuss the di culties of outdoor navigation using natural landmarks through some experiments about the landmark acquisition and autonomous navigation.

Navigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network

Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...

Building Multi-Level Models: From Landscapes to Landmarks

In this paper a complete strategy for scene modelling from sensory data acquired in a natural environment is defined. This strategy is applied to outdoor mobile robotics and goes from environment recognition to landmark extraction. In this work, environment is understood as a specific kind of landscape, for instance prairie, forest, desert, etc. A landmark is defined as a remarkable object in t...

Learning Visual Landmarks for Mobile Robot Navigation

This paper describes a vision-based landmark learning and recognition system for use in mobile robot navigation tasks. The system uses genetic algorithms (GA) for both learning and recognition processes. It is able to learn new landmarks with very little human intervention. The recognition system can read text inside landmarks, when present. This learning ability has been tested with two very d...
