Mobile robot navigation is a very important exercise in all robotic application from a domestic household cleaner to highly dangerous life threatening situations. Path planning is the main issue related to navigation. It is very important for an autonomous mobile vehicle to navigate properly without any collision or unsafe conditions in its environment. Path planning in mobile robots must ensure the...
This paper presents the framework for the navigation and target tracking system for a mobile robot. Navigation and target tracking are to be performed using a Microsoft Xbox Kinect sensor which provides RGB color and 3D depth imaging data to an x86 based computer onboard the robot running Ubuntu Linux. A fuzzy logic controller to be implemented on the computer is considered for control of the robot...
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is defined as aircraft without the onboard presence of pilots. UAVs have been used to perform intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. The UAVs are not limited to military operations, they can also be used in commercial applications such as telecommunications, ground traffic control, search and rescue operations, crop monitoring, etc. In this paper, we...
In this paper, we have proposed a sensor fusion scheme along with the geometrical modeling of mobile robot navigation path in an unknown environment. In this scheme, the physical placement of sonars, their ranging limits and beam opening angles are considered. A simple 2-D axis transformation is proposed to relate local robot frame with the actual navigation environment. forward safe path (FSP) and...
