In this paper, we implement an unmanned delivery robot system with Robot Operating System(ROS)-based mobile manipulator, and introduce the technologies employed for the system implementation. The robot consists of a mobile robot capable of autonomous navigation inside the building using an elevator and a Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm(SCARA)-Type manipulator equipped with a vacuum pump. The robot can determines the position and orientation for picking up a package through image segmentation and corner detection using the camera on the manipulator. The proposed system has a user interface implemented to check the delivery status and determine the real-time location of the robot through a web server linked to the application and ROS, and recognizes the shipment and address at the delivery station through You Only Look Once(YOLO) and Optical Character Recognition(OCR). The effectiveness of the system is validated through delivery experiments conducted within a 4-story building.

Algorithms of path planning and obstacle avoidance are essential to autonomous mobile robots that are working in unknown environments in the real time. This paper presents a new navigation algorithm for an autonomous mobile robot with vision and IR sensors using fuzzy rules. Temporary targets are set up by distance variation method and then the algorithms of trajectory planning and obstacle avoidance are designed using fuzzy rules. In this approach, several digital image processing technique is employed to detect edge of obstacles and the distances between the mobile robot and the obstacles are measured. An autonomous mobile robot with single vision and IR sensors is built up for experiments. We also show that the autonomous mobile robot with the proposed algorithm is navigating very well in complex unknown environments.

The major interest of general mobile robot is making a route and following a maked route. But, In the case of robot that is in need of movement of partial high speed, the condition of dynamic limitation is exist, and in these conditions, it demands controlling against movements we want. In this paper, in respect of the following a route at the situation that don't have the environmental map, that is, unknown environments, to prevent the slide of moving robot or the overturn that can happen for it moves fast, we organize the dynamic condition of limitation using the fuzzy logic, and we obtain more safe and fast route tracing ability by changing the standard velocity. Especially, by modeling the line tracing mobile robot, we design the tracing controller against a realtime changing target, and using the fuzzy optimized velocity limitation controller, we confirm that our robot shows its stable tracing ability by limiting its velocity intelligently against the continuously changing line.

There come various types of robot with researches for mobile robot. This paper introduces the multi-joint snake robot having 16 degree of freedom and composing of eight-axis. The biological snake robot uses the forward movement friction and the proposed artificial snake robot uses the un-powered wheel instead of the body of snake. To determine the enable joint angle of each joint, the controller inputs are considered such as color and distance using PC Camera and ultra-sonic sensor module, respectively. The movement method of snake robot is sequential moving from head to tail through body. The target for movement direction is decided by a certain article be displayed in the PC Camera. In moving toward that target, if there is any obstacle then the snake robot can avoid by itself. In this paper, we show the method of snake robot for tracing the target with experiment.

This paper presents a new approach to the design of cruise control system of a mobile robot with two drive wheel. The proposed control scheme uses a Gaussian function as a unit function in the fuzzy-neural network and back propagation algorithm to train the fuzzy-neural network controller in the framework of the specialized loaming architecture. It is Proposed a learning controller consisting of two neural network-fuzzy based on independent reasoning and a connection net with fixed weights to simply the neural networks-fuzzy. The performance of the proposed controller is shown by performing the computer simulation for trajectory tucking of the speed and azimuth of a mobile robot driven by two independent wheels.

Even if there are lots of researches on localization using 2D range finder in static environment, very few researches have been reported for robust real-time localization of mobile robot in uncertain and dynamic environment. In this paper, we present a new localization method based on ICP(Iterative Closest Point) algorithm for navigation of mobile robot under dynamic or uncertain environment. The ICP method is widely used for geometric alignment of three-dimensional models when an initial estimate of the relative pose is known. We use the method to align global map with 2D scanned data from range finder. The proposed algorithm accelerates the processing time by uniformly sampling the line fitted data from world map of mobile robot. A data filtering method is also used for threshold of occluded data from the range finder sensor. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been demonstrated through computer simulation and experiment in an office environment.

This study presents sensor system for autonomous mobile robot capable of floor-to-floor self-navigation. The robot was modified using the Turtlebot3 hardware platform and ROS2 (robot operating system 2). The robot utilized the Navigation2 package to estimate and calibrate the moving path acquiring a map with SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping). For elevator boarding, ultrasonic sensor data and threshold distance are compared to determine whether the elevator door is open. The current floor information of the elevator is determined using image processing results of the ceiling-fixed camera capturing the elevator LCD (liquid crystal display)/LED (light emitting diode). To realize seamless communication at any spot in the building, the LoRa (long-range) communication module was installed on the self-navigating autonomous mobile robot to support the robot in deciding if the elevator door is open, when to get off the elevator, and how to reach at the destination.
