A sensor fusion scheme for mobile robot environment recognition that incorporates range data and contour data is proposed. Ultrasonic sensor provides coarse spatial description but guarantees open space with no obstacle within sonic cone with relatively high belief. Laser structured light system provides detailed contour description of environment but prone to light noise and is easily affected by surface reflectivity. Overall fusion process is composed of two stages: Noise elimination and belief updates. Dempster Shafer´s evidential reasoning is applied at each stage. Open space estimation from sonar range measurements brings elimination of noisy lines from laser sensor. Comparing actual sonar data to the simulated sonar data enables ...

In this paper, a new method is proposed where the vision and ultrasonic sensor are used to recognize obstacles and to obtain its position and size. Ultrasonic snsors are used to obtain the actual navigation path width of the mobile robot. In conjunction with camera images of the path, recognition of obstacles and the determination of its distance, direction, and width are carried out. The characteristics of the sensors and the mobile robots used generally make it difficult to recognize all environments; accordingly, a restricted environment is employed for this study.

This paper describes an image processing algorithm for recognition of small-obstacles using a camera and program for a mobile robot in indoor environment. Mobile robot could meet small-obstacles such as a small plastic bottle of about 1l in quantity, a small box of 7$\times$7$\times$7 cm$^3$ in volume, and so on in its designated path, and could be disturbed by them in the locomotion of a mobile robot. So, it is necessary to research on the image processing algorithm for recognition of small-obstacles using a camera and program. In this paper, 2-D the image processing algorithm for recognition of small-obstacles using a camera and program for a mobile robot in indoor environment was developed. The characteristic test of the developed program to confirm the recognition of small-obstacles was performed. It is shown that the developed program could recognize small-obstacles accurately.

This paper presents a 3D object recognition method for generation of 3D environmental map or obstacle recognition of mobile robots. An active light source projects a stripe pattern of light onto the object surface, while the camera observes the projected pattern from its offset point. The system consists of a laser unit and a camera on a pan/tilt device. The line segment in 2D camera image implies an object surface plane. The scaling, filtering, edge extraction, object extraction and line thinning are used for the enhancement of the light stripe image. We can get faithful depth informations of the object surface from the line segment interpretation. The performance of the proposed method has demonstrated in detail through the experiments for varies type objects. Experimental results show that the method has a good position accuracy, effectively eliminates optical noises in the image, greatly reduces memory requirement, and also greatly cut down the image processing time for the 3D object recognition compared to the conventional object recognition.

현대 과학 기술이 발전함에 따라 인간은 편리함을 추구하게 되었고 사람이 기계를 제어 하지 않는 그런 시대가 도래 했다. 이러한 무인 이동체는 자동차, 항공, 선박 등 다양한 곳에서 사용되고 있고 또한 연구되고 있다. 그러나 무인 이동체는 중요한 장점이자 단점이 사람이 제어하지 않는 것이고, 이는 무인 이동체가 주행 중에 장애물과 충돌을 할 가능성이 높다는 것을 의미했다. 이 시스템에서는 퍼지 제어, 영상 기반 인식, 센서 인식을 통해 충돌 회피 시스템을 만들 것이며, 이 논문을 통해 충돌 회피에 있어 더 나아진 효과를 기대 한다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a walking assistance system with mobility support and life support functions so that the elderly with reduced physical ability and patients who are uncomfortable when moving can move comfortably indoors and outdoors, and help social life. An obstacle recognition sensor module that can be applied indoors and outdoors is installed on a lightweight walking aid. The purpose of this study is to develop a walking assistance system with mobility support and life support functions so that the elderly with reduced physical ability and patients who are uncomfortable when moving can move comfortably indoors and outdoors, and help social life. An obstacle recognition sensor module that can be applied indoors and outdoors is installed on a lightweight walking aid. It is a system structure of an integrated actuator and brake system that can avoid obstacles in consideration of the safety of the elderly and is easy to install on the device. In this paper, the design of a lightweight walking aid was designed to increase the convenience of the socially disadvantaged and the elderly with reduced exercise ability. In addition, in order to overcome the disadvantage of being inconvenient to use indoors due to the noise and vibration of the motor during operation, an In-Wheel type motor is applied to develop and apply a low noise, low vibration and high efficiency drive system.

RFID를 이용한 실내 위치 인식 시스템은 실내의 위치를 예측하는 방식이기 때문에 장애물 등 주변 환경에 의해 오차가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 역전파 신경망을 이용하여 오차를 줄이고자 한다. 신경망은 층간의 가중치를 조정하고 훈련시켜 리더를 보유한 물체의 실제위치와 실험을 통해 예상되는 위치간의 오차를 줄인다. 본 논문에서는 중앙값을 사용한 방법과 방사 형태를 사용한 방법을 신경망의 입력으로 사용하는 구성을 제안하였다. 두 가지 방법 중 장애물이 있는 환경에서 어떤 방법이 실제 위치를 인식하는 데에 더 효율적인지 확인하고 오차를 줄이고자 한다. 그 결과 중앙값을 이용한 방법이 오차가 더 적었으며, 데이터 개수가 많을수록 오차가 더 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents LiDAR static obstacle map based vehicle dynamic state estimation algorithm for urban autonomous driving. In an autonomous driving, state estimation of host vehicle is important for accurate prediction of ego motion and perceived object. Therefore, in a situation in which noise exists in the control input of the vehicle, state estimation using sensor such as LiDAR and vision is required. However, it is difficult to obtain a measurement for the vehicle state because the recognition sensor of autonomous vehicle perceives including a dynamic object. The proposed algorithm consists of two parts. First, a Bayesian rule-based static obstacle map is constructed using continuous LiDAR point cloud input. Second, vehicle odometry during the time interval is calculated by matching the static obstacle map using Normal Distribution Transformation (NDT) method. And the velocity and yaw rate of vehicle are estimated based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) using vehicle odometry as measurement. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the Linux Robot Operating System (ROS) environment, and is verified with data obtained from actual driving on urban roads. The test results show a more robust and accurate dynamic state estimation result when there is a bias in the chassis IMU sensor.

This paper presents the autonomous swimming technology developed for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) operating in the underwater jacket structure environment. To prevent the position divergence of the inertial navigation system constructed for the primary navigation solution for the vehicle, we've developed kinds of marker-recognition based underwater localization methods using both of optical and acoustic cameras. However, these two methods all require the artificial markers to be located near to the cameras mounted on the vehicle. Therefore, in the case of the vehicle far away from the structure where the markers are usually mounted on, we may need alternative position-aiding solution to guarantee the navigation accuracy. For this purpose, we develop a sonar image processing based underwater localization method using a Forward Looking Sonar (FLS) mounted in front of the vehicle. The primary purpose of this FLS is to detect the obstacles in front of the vehicle. According to the detected obstacle(s), we apply an Occupancy Grid Map (OGM) based path planning algorithm to derive an obstacle collision-free reference path. Experimental studies are carried out in the water tank and also in the Pohang Yeongilman port sea environment to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed autonomous swimming technology.
