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.

This paper describes a visual control scheme, fuzzy logic system for visual servoing of an autonomous mobile robot. An existing communication autonomous mobile robot always needs to keep the object in image to detect the moving object. This is a problem in an autonomous mobile robot for spontaneous activity. To solve it, some features for an object are taken from an image and then use in the design of fuzzy logic system for decision of moving location and direction of visual servoing contrivance(apparatus). So continuous tracking is possible by moving the visual servoing contrivance. We present some simulation results and further studies in the Section of Simulation and Concluding Remarks.

Generally, a mobile robot is moved by original input programs. However, it is very hard for a non-expert to change the program generating the moving path of a mobile robot, because he doesn't know almost the teaching command and operating method for driving the robot. Therefore, the teaching method with speech command for a handicapped person without hands or a non-expert without an expert knowledge to generate the path is required gradually. In this study, for easily teaching the moving path of the autonomous mobile robot, the autonomous mobile robot with the function of speech recognition is developed. The use of human voice as the teaching method provides more convenient user-interface for mobile robot. To implement the teaching function, the designed robot system is composed of three separated control modules, which are speech preprocessing module, DC servo motor control module, and main control module. In this study, we design and implement a speaker dependent isolated word recognition system for creating moving path of an autonomous mobile robot in the unknown environment. The system uses word-level Hidden Markov Models(HMM) for designated command vocabularies to control a mobile robot, and it has postprocessing by neural network according to the condition based on confidence score. As the spectral analysis method, we use a filter-bank analysis model to extract of features of the voice. The proposed word recognition system is tested using 33 Korean words for control of the mobile robot navigation, and we also evaluate the performance of navigation of a mobile robot using only voice command.

Dynamic object detection is essential for ensuring safe and reliable autonomous driving. Recently, light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-based object detection has been introduced and shown excellent performance on various benchmarks. Although LiDAR sensors have excellent accuracy in estimating distance, they lack texture or color information and have a lower resolution than conventional cameras. In addition, performance degradation occurs when a LiDAR-based object detection model is applied to different driving environments or when sensors from different LiDAR manufacturers are utilized owing to the domain gap phenomenon. To address these issues, a sensor-fusion-based object detection and classification method is proposed. The proposed method operates in real time, making it suitable for integration into autonomous vehicles. It performs well on our custom dataset and on publicly available datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness in real-world road environments. In addition, we will make available a novel three-dimensional moving object detection dataset called ETRI 3D MOD.

A development of a new moving obstacle avoidance algorithm using a delay-time Compensation for a network-based autonomous mobile robot is proposed in this paper. The moving obstacle avoidance algorithm is based on a Kalman filter through moving obstacle estimation and a Bezier curve for path generation. And, the network-based mobile robot, that is a unified system composed of distributed environmental sensors, mobile actuators, and controller, is compensated by a network delay compensation algorithm for degradation performance by network delay. The network delay compensation method by a sensor fusion using the Kalman filter is proposed for the localization of the robot to compensate both the delay of readings of an odometry and the delay of reading of environmental sensors. Through some simulation tests, the performance enhancement of the proposed algorithm in the viewpoint of efficient path generation and accurate goal point is shown here.

This paper describes the path planning of an autonomous mobile robot using one camera-based sequence image processing. As an assumption, all objects in front of the mobile robot are located on the same plane where robot moves. Using the moving camera grounded on the autonomous mobile robot, the robot extracts the angular points of obstacle objects, calculates the height using the assumption and discrepancy between two consecutive images. In the image processing, angular points of objects must correspond so that they deliver the size of objects. Thus, the robot passes through if the object has not the height, like the paper or the shadow projected. Otherwise, the robot passes aside if ...

본 논문에서는 고정된 장애물이 포함된 글로벌 맵 환경에서 LRF 센서만을 가진 자율이동 로봇이 이동장애물을 회피하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 우선 이동장애물을 회피하기 위해 LRF 거리 센서 데이터와 글로벌 맵을 이용하여 이동장애물을 추출한다. 추출된 이동장애물과 자율이동 로봇의 상대적인 벡터 성분의 합을 이용해 타원 형태의 안전반경을 생성한다. 생성된 안전반경을 고려하여 자율이동 로봇이 이동장애물을 회피하고 목적지에 도착할 수 있도록 한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 검증하기 위해 정량적인 분석 방법을 사용하여 기존 알고리즘과 비교하고 분석한다. 분석 방법은 이동장애물이 없을 때를 기준으로 제안된 알고리즘과 기존의 알고리즘의 경로의 길이와 주행 시간을 비교한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 이동장애물의 상대적 속도와 방향을 고려하여 회피할 수 있어서 경로와 주행 시간 모두 기존의 알고리즘보다 높은 성능을 보인다.

전자나침반(DMC)은 실내의 전자기적 요소나 강한 자성체 건물구조에서는 쉽게 방해를 받던 나침반보다 실내에서 간섭에 강한 특징을 가지고 있다. 그리고 초음파 센서는 물체와의 거리를 계산해 줄뿐만 아니라 값싼 센서로서 경제적인 이점을 가지고 있어 Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM)에서 많이 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자율 이동 로봇의 구동에서 전자나침반과 초음파 센서를 이용한 SLAM의 구현에 대해 연구하였다. 로봇의 특성상 한정된 센싱 데이터만으로 방향과 위치를 파악하고 그 데이터 값으로 가능한 빠르게 위치 측정을 하여야 한다. 그러므로 자율 이동 로봇에서의 SLAM 적용함으로 위치측정의 구현과 지도 작성을 수행한다. 그리고 SLAM 구현상의 주된 연구 중의 하나인 Kid Napping 문제에 중점을 두고 연구한다. 특히, 위치 측정의 구현을 수행하기 위한 데이터의 센싱 방법으로 초음파 센서를 사용하였고 비슷한 위치의 데이터 값이 주어지거나 사전 정보 없는 상태에서는 로봇의 상태를 파악하기 위해서 전자 나침반을 사용하였다. 그래서 자율 이동 로봇의 위치를 정확하게 측정하기 위해서 활용하였다.

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.

Presented in this paper is a newly developed motion planning method of an autonomous mobile robot(MAR) which can be applied to flexible manufacturing systems(FMS). The mobile robot is designed for transporting tools and workpieces between a set-up station and machines according to production schedules of the whole FMS. The proposed method is implemented based on an earlier developed real-time obstacle avoidance method which employs Kohonen network for pattern classification of sonar readings and fuzzy logic for local path planning. Particulary, a novel obstacle avoidance method for moving objects using a collision index, collision possibility measure, is described. Our method has been tested on the SNU mobile robot. The experimental results show that the robot successfully navigates to its target while avoiding moving objects.
