In this paper we present an real-time obstacle avoidance technique of autonomous mobile robot with steering system and implementation of user interface for mobile devices with Android platform. The direction of autonomous robot is determined by virtual force field concept, which is based on the distance information acquired from 5 ultrasonic sensors. It is converted to virtual repulsive force around the autonomous robot which is inversely proportional to the distance. The steering system with PD(proportional and derivative) controller moves the mobile robot to the determined target direction. We also use PSD(position sensitive detector) sensors to supplement ultrasonic sensors around dead angle area. The mobile robot communicates with Android mobile device and PC via Ethernet. The video information from CMOS camera mounted on the mobile robot is transmitted to Android mobile device and PC. And the user can control the mobile robot manually by transmitting commands on the user interface to it via Ethernet.

This paper proposes a remote control system that combines computer network and an autonomous mobile robot. We control remotely an autonomous mobile robot with vision via the internet to guide it under unknown environments in the real time. The main feature of this system is that local operators need a World Wide Web browser and a computer connected to the internet communication network and so they can command the robot in a remote location through our Home Page. The hardware architecture of this system consists of an autonomous mobile robot, workstation, and local computers. The software architecture of this system includes the server part for communication between user and robot and the client part for the user interface and a robot control system. The server and client parts are developed using Java language which is suitable to internet application and supports multi-platform. Furthermore, this system offers an image compression method using motion JPEG concept which reduces large time delay that occurs in network during image transmission.

This study proposes a new approach to Control the Orientation and position based on obstacle avoidance technology by multi sensors fusion and autonomous travelling control of mobile robot system for implimentation of Smart FA. The important focus is to control mobile robot based on by the multiple sensor module for autonomous travelling and obstacle avoidance of proposed mobile robot system, and the multiple sensor module is consit with sonar sensors, psd sensors, color recognition sensors, and position recognition sensors. Especially, it is proposed two points for the real time implementation of autonomous travelling control of mobile robot in limited manufacturing environments. One is on the development of the travelling trajectory control algorithm which obtain accurate and fast in considering any constraints. such as uncertain nonlinear dynamic effects. The other is on the real time implementation of obstacle avoidance and autonomous travelling control of mobile robot based on multiple sensors. The reliability of this study has been illustrated by the computer simulation and experiments for autonomous travelling control and obstacle avoidance.

Researches on mobile robots have been mainly focused on the autonomous navigation and a lot of interesting results have been published so far. Most of applications are, however, fancy, unpractical, and very expensive to be used for 'UN-expensive' purpose. Well-known soccer robot may be an example of unpractical application. Un-autonomous mobile robot has, however, potential for a lot of practical applications. Especially, tele-operation of the un-autonomous mobile robot may the central issue of research. Major research topics for the tele-operated un-autonomous mobile robot include development of a force reflecting joystick for tele-operation and development of a sophisticated algorithm for smooth tele-operation. A new concept named fuzzy command smoothing algorithm is proposed in this paper in order to provide smooth motion to a tele-operated mobile robot. It gives smooth motion command to the mobile robot from possibly abrupt quick turn motion command of the joystick using fuzzy logic. Simulation results verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm.

Autonomous navigation of an indoor mobile robot using the global ultrasonic system is presented in this paper. Since the trajectory error of the dead-reckoning navigation grows with time and distance, the autonomous navigation of a mobile robot requires to localize the current position of the robot, so that to compensate the trajectory error. The global ultrasonic system consisting of four ultrasonic generators fixed at a priori known positions in the work space and two receivers on the mobile robot has the similar structure with the well-known satellite GPS(Global Positioning System), and it is useful for the self-localization of an indoor mobile robot. The EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) algorithm for the self-localization is proposed and the autonomous navigation based on the self-localization is verified by experiments.

This paper addresses that the autonomous mobile robot with the function of teaching a moving path by speech and avoiding a collision is developed. The use of human speech as the teaching method provides more convenient user-interface for a mobile robot. In speech recognition system a speech recognition algorithm using neural is proposed to recognize Korean syllable. For the safe navigation the autonomous mobile robot needs abilities to recognize a surrounding environment and to avoid collision with obstacles. To obtain the distance from the mobile robot to the various obstacles in surrounding environment ultrasonic sensors is used. By the navigation algorithm the robot forecasts the collision possibility with obstacles and modifies a moving path if it detects a dangerous obstacle.

The navigation algorithms enable autonomous mobile robots to reach given target points without collision against obstacles. To achieve safe navigations in unknown environments, this paper presents an effective navigation algorithm for the autonomous mobile robots with ultrasonic sensors. The proposed navigation algorithm consists of an obstacle-avoidance behavior, a target-reaching behavior and a fuzzy-based decision maker. In the obstacle-avoidance behavior and the target-reaching behavior, artificial immune networks are used to select a proper steering angle, make the autonomous mobile robot avoid obstacles and approach a given target point. The fuzzy-based decision maker combines the steering angles from the target-reaching behavior and the obstacle-avoidance behavior in order to steer the autonomous mobile robot appropriately. Simulational and experimental results show that the proposed navigation algorithm is very effective in unknown environments.

이동자율로봇은 작업 공간을 벗어난 작업에 대하여 높은 성능을 보일 수 있으므로 고정 베이스 구조인 매니플레이터에 비하여 다양한 작업 환경에서 유용하다. 임의의 위치에 있는 물체를 인식하기 위하여 이동자율로봇에 부착된 2자유도의 능동카메라에 의해 입력되는 영상과 능동카메라의 기구학적 관계와 직각좌표계를 이용하여 물체의 위치와 이동로봇의 위치를 구하는 방법을 제시한다. 동차행렬을 이용하여 이미지정보와 물체의 위치를 해석하므로 이동자율로봇의 최적경로를 생성한다. 최종적으로, 물체의 인식을 통하여 이동로봇을 제어할 수 있는 조인트변수의 값을 계산한다. 제안된 방법은 제작된 이동자율로봇의 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 확인되어지고 논의된다.

This study proposes a new approach to design and control for autonomous mobile robots. In this paper, we describes a fuzzy logic based visual servoing system for an autonomous mobile robot. An existing system always needs to keep a moving object in overall image. This mes difficult to move the autonomous mobile robot spontaneously. In this paper we first explain an autonomous mobile robot and fuzzy logic system. And then we design a fuzzy logic based visual servoing system. We extract some features of the object from an overall image and then design a fuzzy logic system for controlling the visual servoing system to an exact position. We here introduce a shooting robot that can track an object and hit it. It is illustrated that the proposed system presents a desirable performance by a computer simulation and some experiments.

The autonomous robot has the ability of obstacle avoidance and target tracking with some manufactured information. In this paper, it is shown that autonomous mobile robot can avoid fixed obstacles using the map made before and the fuzzy controller is adopted with the global path planing and the local path planing when the robot navigates. With that map sensor, information will be used when an autonomous robot navigates. This paper proves that robot can navigate through optimized route and keep the stable condition.
