The sonar ring: Obstacle detection for a mobile robot
نویسنده
چکیده
Ultrasonic pulse-echo devices have shown utility for obstacle detection in numerous mobile robot research eflorts, as well as in commercial automatic guided vehicles (AGVs). A method for quickly obtaining multiple sonar range readings is presented. Thirty ultrasonic transducers are arranged in a ring and controlled by a computer. The system is predominantly composed of commercially available parts. Hardware specifications and operation details of this system are outlined.

Using Coded Signals to Benefit from Ultrasonic Sensor Crosstalk in Mobile Robot Obstacle Avoidance
Crosstalk is a common problem occurring with arrays of multiple ultrasonic sensors (sonars) in obstacle detection and avoidance systems. This paper presents a novel method that might allow the use of data generated by crosstalk to generate more reliable and accurate object detection. This is accomplished by assigning a unique code to the signals emitted by each sonar, so that the source sonar c...
متن کاملObstacle Detection for Navigation of Robot Using Computer Vision and Laser Rangefinder
Autonomous robots are intelligent machines that are able to perform desired tasks by themselves, without any human intervention. Obstacle avoidance is a primary requirement for any autonomous mobile robot. It prevents the mobile robot from collision. The robot acquires information about its surroundings through camera mounted on the robot. The obstacle detection for the mobile robot is carried ...

This paper addresses a behavior-based fuzzy controller (BFC) for mobile robot wall-following control.The wall-following task is usually used to explore an unknown environment.The proposed BFC consists of three sub-fuzzy controllers, including Straight-based Fuzzy Controller (SFC),Left-based Fuzzy Controller (LFC), and Right-based Fuzzy Controller (RFC).The proposed wall-...
متن کاملMobile Robots Exploration and Mapping in 2 D
In this paper, we present a system for multi-robot exploration of an unknown environment, taking into account the communication constraints between the robots. The objectives of the robots are to explore the whole environment as a group, while maintaining communication with base computer throughout the entire exploration. Our method was implemented using a mobile robot equipped with a sonar ran...
متن کاملDynamic Obstacle Avoidance by Distributed Algorithm based on Reinforcement Learning (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper we focus on the application of reinforcement learning to obstacle avoidance in dynamic Environments in wireless sensor networks. A distributed algorithm based on reinforcement learning is developed for sensor networks to guide mobile robot through the dynamic obstacles. The sensor network models the danger of the area under coverage as obstacles, and has the property of adoption o...
