Laser rangefinders are very popular sensors in robot localization due to their accuracy. Typically, localization algorithms based on these sensors compare range measurements with previously obtained maps of the environment. As many indoor environments are highly symmetrical (e.g., most rooms have the same layout and most corridors are very similar) these systems may fail to recognize one location...
In camera images for urban search and rescue (USAR) robots teleoperation, it is important to reduce blind spots and get surroundings as much as possible because of safety requirements. We propose a method to create synthesized bird's-eye view images from multiple fish-eye cameras as spatiotemporal data which can reduce blind spots. In practical use, it is very important to get images robustly even...
A lot of plumbings such as gas pipes and water pipes exist in public utilities, factories and so on. The use of an omni-directional camera which can take images of 360 deg in surroundings at a time is effective for pipe inspection. However, shape measurement is difficult only with the omnidirectional camera. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a reconstruction method of a piping shape by using a...
We previous proposed a dynamical sequential task allocation and reallocation method to resolve a new task assignment domain: dynamical mobile task allocation, by which tasks can move randomly before they are assigned robots to execute, is the condition in which tasks and robots are allowed to be time-dependent before assigned robots to accomplish the relational tasks. It was demonstrated that our...
