This paper presents a robust autonomous navigation and reconnaissance system for tracked robots, designed to handle complex multi-floor indoor environments with stairs. We introduce a localization algorithm that adjusts scan matching parameters to robustly estimate positions and create maps in environments with scarce features, such as narrow rooms and staircases. Our system also features a path planning algorithm that calculates distance costs from surrounding obstacles, integrated with a specialized PID controller tuned to the robot's differential kinematics for collision-free navigation in confined spaces. The perception module leverages multi-image fusion and camera-LiDAR fusion to accurately detect and map the 3D positions of objects around the robot in real time. Through practical tests in real settings, we have verified that our system performs reliably. Based on this reliability, we expect that our research team's autonomous reconnaissance system will be practically utilized in actual disaster situations and environments that are difficult for humans to access, thereby making a significant contribution.

The mobility of tracked vehicles is mainly influenced by the interaction between the tracks and soil. When the track of a tracked vehicle rotates, there will be a slip effect between the track and the soil, which creates a track shear force and the vehicle’s driving force. In this paper, the modeling of a working tool such as a trenching cutter and a tracked vehicle that is the lower frame of a track-based operating robot was performed. In addition, a numerical simulation was executed to verify the performance of the design objectives and the motion characteristics of the combined system.

본 논문은 감시카메라 영상으로부터 응급상황을 탐지하는 방법과 응급상황의 정밀 탐색 및 서비스를 위한 이동로봇 추적 시스템 개발에 대하여 기술한다. 건물 곳곳에 설치된 카메라로부터 얻어지는 일련의 영상들을 분석하여 처리함으로써 사람의 행동을 인식할 수 있으며, 이 중 응급상황이 탐지된 경우 준비된 이동로봇을 이용해 응급상황 발생지점의 정밀 탐색이 가능하다. 감시 카메라 영상을 통하여 사람의 행동들을 인식하기 위해서는 인간의 모습이라고 가정되는 영역들을 추적하고 관리해야 한다. 한 영상에서 가우시안 혼합 모델(MOG)을 이용하여 배경과 분리된 관심 영역들을 추출하고, 각 영역들을 외관 모델을 이용하여 지속적으로 추적한다. 그리고 각 영역의 실루엣 정보를 이용한 움직임 누적 영상(MHI)을 생성하여 행동을 모델링하고 신경망을 이용하여 응급 상황을 최종 인식한다. 또한 응급상황에 처한 사람과 이동로봇의 위치정보를 계산해 이동로봇이 사람에게 접근하는 기술을 구현한다.

There have been numerous studies directed toward the development of driving mechanisms for off-road mobility and rescue robots. To achieve surveillance, reconnaissance, and rescue, it is necessary for robots to have a driving mechanism that can handle off-road environments, We propose a new type of single-track driving mechanism with a variable geometry for a rescue robot, This mechanism has a symmetric configuration so that the robot can advance in two directions and also remain operable when overturned. By transforming its geometry, the robot can reduce energy consumption in steering and rotating as well as maximize its ability to climb obstacles such as stairs. The robot is also designed to have a compact size and low center of gravity to facilitate driving when on a set of stairs. In this paper, we analyzed the design parameters of the robot for the four phases of climbing stairs and determined the specifications needed to enhance its adaptability.

An optimal trajectory generation algorithm for capturing a moving object by a mobile robot in real-time is proposed in this paper. The linear and rotational velocities of the moving object are estimated using the Kalman filter, as a state estimator. For the estimation, the moving object is tracked by a 2-DOF active camera mounted on the mobile robot, which enables a mobile manipulator to track the mobile robot until the capturing moment. The optimal trajectory for capturing the moving object is dependent on the initial conditions of the mobile robot as well as the moving object. Therefore, real-time trajectory planning for the mobile robot is definitely required for the successful capturing of the moving object. The performance of proposed algorithm is verified through the real experiments and the superiority is demonstrated by comparing to other algorithms.

Localization is the key role in controlling the Mobile Robot. In this papers, a development of the sensor fusion algorithm for controling UTV(Unmanned Tracked Vehicle) is presented. The multi-sensocial dead-rocking subsystem is established based on the optimal filtering by first fusing heading angle reading from a magnetic compass, a rate-gyro and two encoders mouned on the robot wheels, thereby computing the deat-reckoned location. These data and the position data provoded by LBL system are fused together by means of an extended Kalman filter. This algorithm is proved by simulation studies.

Obstacle avoidance is one of the most important parts of autonomous mobile robot. In this study, we proposed safe and efficient local path planning of robot for obstacle avoidance. The proposed method detects and tracks obstacles using the 3D depth information of an RGB-D sensor for path prediction. Based on the tracked information of obstacles, the paths of the obstacles are predicted with probability circle-based spatial search (PCSS) method and Gaussian modeling is performed to reduce uncertainty and to create the cost function of caution. The possibility of collision with the robot is considered through the predicted path of the obstacles, and a local path is generated. This enables safe and efficient navigation of the robot. The results in various experiments show that the proposed method enables robots to navigate safely and effectively.

This paper introduces a new type of driving mechanism for rescue robot that has a variable geometry single-track which satisfies the pre-conditions of rescue robot. This mechanism is a symmetric configuration that has dual directions and prepares against overturn. By using transformation, it can reduce the energy consumption in steering and rotating. And also it maximizes the ability to overcome obstacles, like steps. It is designed to make the size of robot compact and to have the low center of gravity in driving on steps. Finally, we optimized the design variables of components determining the shape of reverse-trapezoid frame to enhance the adaptability to 4 phases of climbing steps.
