Spatial Abilities and Performance in Robot Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatial abilities depend on the comprehension and interpretation of visual information about geometric objects in a given layout. Past research has shown that spatial abilities are a reliable predictor of efficiency in robot navigation in remote environments. This experiment investigated the relationship between spatial abilities and performance in direct line-of-sight and teleoperation courses. Results showed that individuals with higher spatial abilities (particularly spatial orientation) had faster course completion times and fewer collisions. This suggests that increased spatial abilities may play a significant role in effective robot navigation and its implications include using spatial measures as a tool in teleoperator selection.

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 ...
متن کاملA New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space
In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...
