In dynamic environment, the path planning of mobile robot is a problem difficult to solve. A path planning method for mobile robot based on genetic algorithm is put forward. This method makes use of real number coding and adaptive function with definite physical meaning in the dynamic environment so as to accelerate real-time calculation and improve calculation precision. The simulation result ...

This article presents the development and control of a two‐wheeled mobile robot as the base of a human carrier for an amusement/transportation vehicle. The robot has a combined structure of two systems: a line tracking mobile robot and an inverted pendulum system that maintains balance while following a line on the floor. The mobile robot is purposely designed to carry a huma...

Implementation of an outdoor navigation system for a mobile robot is described in this paper. In this system, two optical encoders are used to perform dead-reckoning for the mobile robot. Meanwhile, an electronic compass and a GPS receiver are used for self-localization of the robot. Fusing the sensory data from dead-reckoning and self-localization, position and orientation of the robot can be ...

1 www.erpublication.org  Abstract— This paper presents a new vision based routing method using elliptical geometry approach for floor-pattern tracking on robot navigation. Path tracking is important in vision based mobile robot navigation and it acts as the sense of seeing, recognizing and directing the mobile robot to its destination. Geometry for floor pattern is designed and vision based pa...

Abstract: This paper describes an automatic calibration procedure adopted to improve the localization of an outdoor mobile robot. The proposed algorithm estimates, by using an extended Kalman filter, the main kinematic parameters of the vehicles, such as the wheel radii and the wheelbase as well as the magnetometer offset. Several trials have been performed to validate the proposed strategy on ...

This technical note deals with the way of organizing the work of a manipulator on a mobile robot. Every robotic mission is composed of several navigation and manipulation operations. In this research, the robot arm actions have been sequenced, once the mobile robot has stopped, with the help of the graphical specification tool Grafcet. The proposed method has been successfully implemented in th...

Mobile robots are used for a wide range of purposes such as mapping an environment and transporting material goods. Regardless of the specific application, the navigation of the mobile robot is usually divided into three separate parts: localiza-tion, path planning and path execution. Localization is the process of determining the location of the robot with respect to a reference coordinate sys...

This paper is to design a single round of mobile robot nonlinear control systems, content combined with dynamic feedback linearization and sliding mode control technology, under certain frame design a non-singular control method. The study design process in the phase trajectory passing through the two subsystems in a single round of planning the actual trajectory of the mobile robot, designed p...

Mobile MODRO is a modular mobile robot developed as a test platform for indoor applications at the Institute of Robotics, ETH Ziirich. The modularity is ensured for all components of the robot: electronics, sensors, software and mechanics. The benchmark task for the modular mobile robot is planned to be the distribution of internal mail in the new institute building of the Institute of Robotics...

Obstacle Avoidance for a Mobile Robot A notorious problem in mobile obstacle avoidance is the detection and avoidance of obstacles. This thesis evaluates several well-known methods for controlling the motion of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. One of these methods, the Global Dynamic Window Approach, is selected and, using a laser range finder as the only range sensor, the meth...
