Terrain Traversability Analysis using full-scale 3D Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous robotic systems which aspire to navigate through rough unstructured terrain require the capability to reason about the environmental characteristics of their environment. As a first priority, the robotic systems need to assess the degree of traversability of their immediate environment to ensure their mobility while navigating through these rough environments. This paper presents a novel terrain-traversability analyis methodology which is based on processing the full 3D model of the terrain, not on a projected or downscaled version of this model. The approach is validated using field tests using a time-of-flight camera.

Terrain Traversability Analysis for off-road robots using Time-Of-Flight 3D Sensing
Traversability estimation is a challenging problem, as in a non-structured environment one should consider both the terrain characteristics, such as slopes, vegetation, rocks, soils, etc. and the robot mobility characteristics, i.e. locomotion method, wheels, etc [9,10]. It is thus required to analyse, in real-time, the 3D characteristics of the terrain and pair this data to the robot capabilit...
متن کامل3D Mobility Learning and Regression of Articulated, Tracked Robotic Vehicles by Physics-based Optimization
Motion planning for robots operating on 3D rough terrain requires the synergy of various robotic capabilities, from sensing and perception to simulation, planning and prediction. In this paper, we focus on the higher level of this pipeline where by means of physics-based simulation and geometric processing we extract the information that is semantically required for an articulated, tracked robo...
متن کاملOutdoor Terrain Traversability Analysis for Robot Navigation using a Time-Of-Flight Camera
Autonomous robotic systems operating in unstructured outdoor environments need to estimate the traversability of the terrain in order to navigate safely. Traversability estimation is a challenging problem, as the traversability is a complex function of both the terrain characteristics, such as slopes, vegetation, rocks, etc and the robot mobility characteristics, i.e. locomotion method, wheels,...
متن کاملT-transformation: Traversability Analysis for Navigation on Rugged Terrain
In order to maneuver autonomously on rough terrain, a mobile robot must constantly decide whether to traverse or circumnavigate terrain features ahead. This ability is called Obstacle Negotiation (ON). A critical aspect of ON is the socalled traversability analysis, which evaluates the level of difficulty associated with the traversal of the terrain. This paper presents a new method for travers...
متن کاملRapid Traversability Assessment in 2.5D Grid-based Map on Rough Terrain
This paper presents a rapid traversability assessment approach based on an extended 2.5D grid-based representaion of the rough terrain. Stereo vision system is used to perceive the environment surrounding robot. Conventional 2D, 3D and other 2.5D grid maps determine the traversability indices of the grids directly from the sensor feedback, while our approach attempts to address the indices of t...
