This paper presents a novel image-based controller for the visual servoing of mobile robots navigating in corridors. Two strategies based on perspective line detection are considered: an image-based approach and a position-based approach. Both are fully described including stability analysis and experimental results on real robots, discussing limitations and benefits of each approach supporting the...
This paper addresses the use of panoramic images to avoid obstacles in mobile robot indoor navigation. A catadioptric sensor installed onboard a mobile robot is used to acquire panoramic views covering 180 degrees of the horizon in front of the robot. The optical flow field corresponding to two of such views is calculated, which is used to guide the robot to reactively avoid obstacles. A strategy...
This work presents a control strategy that allows a follower robot to track a target vehicle moving along an unknown trajectory with unknown velocity. It uses only artificial vision to establish both the robot's position and orientation relative to the target, so as to maintain a specified formation at a given distance. The control system is proved to be asymptotically stable at the equilibrium point,...
