In this paper, we propose a multisensor-based navigation algorithm for a mobile robot, which is intelligently searching the goal location in unknown dynamic environments using multi-ultrasonic sensor. Instead of using “sensor fusion” method which generates the trajectory of a robot based upon the environment model and sensory data, “command fusion” method by fuzzy inference is used to govern the robot motions. The major factors for robot navigation are represented as a cost function. Using the data of the robot states and the environment, the weight value of each factor using fuzzy inference is determined for an optimal trajectory in dynamic environments. For the evaluation of the proposed algorithm, we performed simulations in PC as well as experiments with IRL-2002. The results show that the proposed algorithm is apt to identify obstacles in unknown environments to guide the robot to the goal location safely.

본 논문에서는 이동로봇에 삼차원 레이저 스캐너를 장착하여 삼차원 데이터의 수집, 수집된 데이터의 정합, 데이터 수집을 위한 이동로봇의 경로계획 및 장애물 회피주행 등 모든 작업들을 유기적으로 결합시켜 실내 환경에 다한 삼차원 모델을 자율제작하는 시스템을 제안한다. 이를 위해 스캔순서최적화를 통한 빠른 동적 물체 정보의 제거, 계층적 육면체 맵과 기하학적맵을 이용한 최적 경로 예측에 의한 다음 스캐닝 위치의 결정, 오도미터 정보와 명암 정보를 이용해 수정된 ICP 알고리즘을 통한 데이터의 정합을 통하여 이동물체와 관계없는 실내환경에 대한 삼차원 모델의 자율복원 한다.

In this paper, we propose an automatic navigation system of ship using multivariable fuzzy control system in dynamic sea environment. The proposed multivariable fuzzy control system consists of two subsystems with three inputs and two outputs. The effectiveness of the proposed multivariable fuzzy control system is shown by simulation results.

An effective method of obstacle avoidance for omni-directional mobile robots is proposed to avoid moving obstacles in dynamic environments. Our method uses the concept of circle lists which represent the trajectories of robot and obstacles. This method predicts not only collision position but also collision time, and hence it enables the robot avoiding the most urgent collision first. In order to avoid obstacles, our method uses artificial repulsive force and contraction force. Simulation results show that the robot could avoid obstacles effectively.

The most important thing for navigation of a mobile robot is to find the most suitable path and avoid the obstacles in the static and dynamic environment. This paper presents a method to search the optimal path in start space extended to time domain with considering a velocity and a direction of moving obstacles. A modified version of $A^*$ algorithm has been applied for path planning in this work and proposed a method of path search to avoid a collision with moving obstacle in space-tim domain with a velocity and an orientation of obstacles. The velocity and the direction for moving obstacle are assumed as linear form. The simulation result shows that a mobile robot navigates safely among moving obstacles of constant linear velocity. This work can be applied for not only a moving robot but also a legged humanoid robot and all fields where the path planning is required.

In this paper, a novel algorithm capable of detecting generic obstacles on a flat surface is proposed. The algorithm fundamentally exploits a distortion phenomena taken place in remapping process of original stereo images to a virtual top-view. Based on the distortion phenomena, we construct stereo polar histograms of edge maps, detect peaks on them, and search for matched peaks on both histograms using a Dynamic Programming (DP). Eventually, the searched corresponding peaks lead to estimate obstacles' positions. The advantages of the proposed algorithm are that it is not largely affected by an intensity difference between a pair of stereo images and does not depend on the typical stereo matching methodologies. Furthermore, the algorithm identifies the obstacles' positions quite robustly.

The objective of this paper is, based upon the principles of artificial life, to induce emergent behaviors of multiple autonomous mobile robots which form from simple local rules to complex global intelligence. Here, we propose an architecture of neural network learing with reinforcement signals which perceives the neighborhood information and decides the direction and the velocity of movement as mobile robots navigates in a group. As results of the simulations, the optimum weights are obtained in real time, which not only prevent from the collisions between agents and obstacles in the dynamic environment, but also have the mobile robots move and keep in various patterns.

This paper presents an effective approach to dynamic obstacle avoidance for mobile robot. The main concept of this approach includes modified polar mapping for recognition of the moving obstacle in vision-based robot systems. To simplify the segmentation of the moving obstacle from the background and to obtain its relative position data the modified polar mapping is proposed. Dynamic moving obstacles are avoided with a vision sensor and stationary obstacles are avoided with a sonar sensor.
