due to their advantages, omni-directional mobile robots have found many applications especially in robotic soccer competitions. however, omni directional navigation system, omni-vision system and kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. this situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensive omni directional mobile robot. such...

in this study, the problem of navigation in dynamic and unknown environment is investigated and a navigation method based on force field approach is suggested. it is assumed that the robot performs navigation in unknown environment and builds the map through slam procedure. since the moving objects' location and properties are unknown, they are identified and tracked by kalman filter. kalm...
