The design of the robotic vehicle VILMA at UNICAMP is developed in-vehicle platform Fiat Punto. In addition to a set of sensors, actuators, mechanism and components (hardware and/or software), new technologies should be developed in support of Automation, Control, Perception, Localization and Navigation. This work presents the design and simulation of path tracking control using model predictive control...
Camera-based estimation of drivable image areas is still in evolution. These systems have been developed for improved safety and convenience, without the need to adapt itself to the environment. Machine Vision is an important tool to identify the region that includes the road in images. Road detection is the major task of autonomous vehicle guidance. In this way, this work proposes a drivable region...
Autonomous robots have motivated researchers from different groups due to the challenge that it represents. Many applications for control of autonomous platform are being developed and one important aspect is the excess of information, frequently redundant, that imposes a great computational cost in data processing. Taking into account the temporal coherence between consecutive frames, we have proposed...
Environment perception is a major research issue which is very important in the field of robotic system. In order to identify the horizon line and the drivable region, we have proposed a visual-perception system based on an automatic image discarding method as a simple solution to improve the system performance. In this paper, all these previous methods are organized in a visual-perception layer which...
An autonomous robotic platform should be able to perform long-range and long-endurance missions, which energy limitation is one of the most important challenges. Studies show that motion is not the only power consumer. Management of all power resources is therefore important for these systems. Moreover, many applications for control of autonomous platform are being developed and one important aspect...
