Landmarks for absolute localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
For certain experiments in mobile robotics, it is convenient to eliminate positional estimation error in the interest of analyzing other parts of the experiment. We designed and implemented a simple, accurate scheme for encoding and recovering absolute position information. The encoding is a two-dimensional image printed on the plane of the floor, and the absolute position information is recovered using a downward-looking video camera mounted on a mobile robot.

Effects of Moving Landmark’s Speed on Multi-Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Dynamic Environments
Even when simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solutions have been broadly developed, the vast majority of them relate to a single robot performing measurements in static environments. Researches show that the performance of SLAM algorithms deteriorates under dynamic environments. In this paper, a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (MR-SLAM) system is implemented within a...
متن کاملExtraction of Natural Landmarks and Localization using Sonars
In this paper we present a new technique for on-line extraction of natural landmarks using ultra sonic sensors mounted on a mobile platform. By storing landmarks' positions in a reference map, we can easily achieve absolute localization in an indoor environment by doing matching between recently collected landmarks and the reference map. The matching procedure also takes advantage of compass re...

this paper addresses path planning with uncertainty for a car-like robot subject to connguration uncertainty. The robot estimates its conngu-ration with odometry and an absolute localization device based on environmental feature matching. The issue is to compute safe paths that guarantee that the goal will be reached in spite of the uncertainty. The solution proposed relies upon the automatic c...

متن کاملReliability of Body Landmarks Analyzer for Measuring the Quadriceps Angle
Genovarum and Genovalgum are the most common postural deformities of the knee joint. A quadriceps angle is used to measure these anomalies. Methods of measuring this angle are divided into two categories: invasive and non-invasive. The purpose of the present research was to study the inter/intra rater reliability of the non-invasive Body Landmarks Analyzer method for measuring of the quadriceps...
متن کاملOn-line SLAM using clustered landmarks with omnidirectional vision
The problem of SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) is a fundamental problem in autonomous robotics. It arises when a robot must create a map of the regions it has navigated while localizing itself on it, using results from one step to increase precision in another by eliminating errors inherent to the sensors. One common solution consists of establishing landmarks in the environment wh...
