The methods including dot-product feature extractor and line segment feature extractor for laser range finder, corner feature extractor for camera images. The robot platform we work on is the Segway

A method for determining the dynamic parameters of operator a mobile fire engine based on segway, which fully characterize its properties – delay time and inertia was developed. The development includes four stages. At first stage, problem obtaining analytical relationships is solved. These include frequency characteristics at fixed static parameter. second choice substantiated using criterion ...
