This paper proposes a algorithm for several mobile robots navigation. There are three parts in this algorithm. First part generates robots turning angle and moving distance for goal approaching, sencond part generates robots avoiding angle and avoiding distance for static obstacles or other robots and third part adjust between robots moving distance and avoiding distance. Most simulation results of this algorithm are very effective for several mobile robots traveling in unknown field.

This paper discusses an approach to real-time path-planning of mobile robot navigating amidst multiple obstacles. Given an environment with the coordinates of known obstacles, the moving area of a mobile robot is divided into many patches of triangles with small edge length, in order to ensure a path better than those reported in the literature. After finding a minimum-distance to minimize the number of turns and total path-length by two-step path-revision and path-smmothing.

This paper presents neural network based position estimation method in slippery environment as an approach to solve one of problems which are engaged in dead reckoning method. Position estimator is composed of slip detector and linear velocity estimator. Both of them are based on the fact that dynamic characteristic of mobile robot in slippery environment is different from the case without slip. To find out the dynamic relation among driving torque, angular acceleration of driving wheel and linear acceleration of mobile robot, accelerometer is used for measuring acceleration of mobile robot and neural network is used for dynamic system identifier in slippery environment.

This paper proposes position estimation and path-tracking of a wheeled-mobile robot(WMR). Odometry and two distance measuring sensors are used to measure distance between guide wall and body and to locate its own position. And extended Kalman filter is introduced to fusion sensors and reduce noise. State feedback controller using the estimated position and path-tracking miles guidance control system. The computer simulation shows that proposed algorithm is well coincide with theoretical approach.

This paper presents WMR modelling and path tracking algorithm using Inertial Navigation System. The error models of gyroscope and accelerometers in INS are derived by Gauss-Newton method which is nonlinear regression model. Then, to test availability of error model, we pursue the fitness diagnosis about probability characteristic for real data and estimated data. Performance of inertial sensor with error model and Kalman filter is pursued by comparing with one without them. The computer simulation shows that position error remarkably decrease when error compensation is applied.

A new tri-aural ultrasonic sensor system is suggested to build more accurate world maps for mobile robots with less scanning. In ordinary single sensor systems, the inherent beam-width of sonar transmitter causes ambiguity in sensing direction. Dual sensors may be used to discriminate plane and corner with several scans. However, the proposed method uses triple sensors, and achieves more accuracy with less scanning.

The navigation problem for a mobile robot is investigated. Specifically, it is proposed that simple guide-marks be introduced and the navigation scheme be generated in conjunction with the guide-marks sensed through camera vision. For autonomous navigation, it was shown that a triple guide-mark system is more effective than a single guide-mark in estimating the position and orientation of mobile robot itself. The navigation system is tested via a mobile robot HERO-I equipped with a single camera in laboratory environment.

In order to navigate, mobile robot needs to avoid obstacles on his way. We describe a stereo vision method for detecting obstacles on the floor ground. With the knowledge of floor geometry, stereo images are transformed so that the relative views of obstacle to the floor are seen. After comparing the transformed images, obstacles information such as location and size are extracted and determined from the local disparities. Some experimental results are shown.

This paper presents a navigation control method for a vision guided robot. The robot is equipped with one camera, an IBM/AT compatible PC, and a sonar system. The robot can either follow track specified on a monitor screen or navigate to a destination avoiding any obstacles on its way. The robot finds its current position as well as its moving direction by taking an image of a circular pattern placed on the ceiling.

This paper describes a dynamic robotic assembly system in which an industrial robot executes peg-in-hole task in a moving state. As an effective means to synchronize the end-effector of the robot with the moving conveyor this work uses a control algorithm which is essentially a PID position control scheme combined with velocity feedforward loop. A RCC wrist is used for the inserting task and its force responses are investigated for various tracking conditions and inserting velocities through a series of experiments.
