Road obstacles cause serious accidents that have a severe impact on driver safety, traffic flow efficiency and damage of the vehicle. Detecting obstacles are important to prevent or to reduce such kind of the accidents and fatalities. However, it is difficult and becomes tricky because of some problems like presence of shadow, environmental changes or a sudden action of any moving things (e.g.,...

The intelligent moving machine is design for fast response, cost effective and obstacle avoiding in its path. The introduction of intelligent behavior of moving machine can adapt the change taken place in the environment and or operating conditions etc. This adaptive behavior of moving machine makes it more robust and useful for industrial applications. The paper deals with an overview of Intel...

In order to broaden the use of microrobots in practical fields, autonomous control algorithms such as obstacle avoidance must be further developed. However, most previous studies of microrobots used manual motion control to navigate past tight spaces and obstacles while very few studies demonstrated the use of autonomous motion. In this paper, we demonstrated a dynamic obstacle avoidance algori...

The robot soccer game based complex motion control has been widely studied for the moving object capture and shooting. A position prediction algorithm based on global vision is introduced in order to improve the accuracy and robustness of the vision system for tracking moving objects, including a Kalmanfiter, a dynamic window and an obstacle avoidance strategy. This paper deals with the positon...

In the future, it’s not difficult to image that we will often come across many autonomous mobile robots traversing densely populated place we live in. In such situation, because the autonomous mobile robots need to carry out their tasks in a place with unknown obstacles, the obstacle avoidance is one of the important functions of the robots. With a view to implementation of autonomous mobile ro...

| This paper describes a system able to detect obstacles as soon as they appear on the horizon by the analysis of a sequence of images recorded by a forward looking TV camera mounted on a vehicle. It exploits several suggestions coming from the a priori knowledge of the scene where the vehicle is moving. The evaluation of the luminance differences between obstacle and road surface and the corre...

It is necessary for a biped robot to recognize a surrounding environment when moving to the destination. This paper presents a method for path planning and obstacle avoidance for the biped robot. In our approach, the robot obtains color information and distance information of objects from images captured by a stereo camera system. Then, the robot generates a 2D grid map which locates floor regi...

Our main aim is to detect an obstacle from any image, and from the methodology used in this we can easily and quickly detect the obstacle. This article is primarily focused on detection of moving objects from aerial vehicles for surveillance. The blob analysis back subtraction method is used for detecting the obstacle in an outdoor environment. Small UAVs are used for low altitude surveillance ...
