In order to work in the rough terrains, the mechanisms of mobile robot have been proposed including wheeled, legged, crawler and so on. In this paper, we design a special wheel type mobile platform named iRP (intelligent Rover Platform). It has two different float suspension mechanisms with six wheels. The suspension systems allow all six wheels to remain on the ground even if any single wheel is...
To facilitate the research of mobile robot based odor source localization (OSL) and evaluate different strategies for the OSL, numerical simulation of odor plume in indoor ventilated environments is addressed. On the basis of the FLUENT software package, the 3-D wind field of an indoor ventilated environment is calculated using the Reynolds average approach, where the real wind velocity measured by...
This paper realizes robot remote real-time navigation system by using smart phone. The smart phone was used for the displayer and command receiver, and the control commands and compressed video stream was transmitted on Internet between the robot and smart phone, thus a real-time video feedback was developed. According to the situation of communication, the sending frame rate of the video and robot's...
This paper proposes a methodology for transportation of a large object by mobile robots using small hand carts. Utilization of the hand carts reduces the load on mobile robots. Hence mobile robots can transport heavier or bigger objects than the ordinary method in which mobile robots transport objects by grasping it using their end-effectors. In this paper we propose an algorithm that decides the...
We present a relative localization method based on sound source localization for mobile robots in outdoor environments. One robot estimates the relative position of nearby robots by receiving the sound signals they generate. In our work, a device including a buzzer and an array of four microphones is designed and installed on each mobile robot. We describe a technique for calculating the relative...
This paper presents an effective Simultaneous Localization and Map Building (SLAM) technique for indoor mobile robot navigation based on OpenMP. Particle Filter (PF) based SLAM provides an effective indoor mobile robot navigation framework, but real-time performance of PF needs improving due to their inherent complex and intensive computation. OpenMP is the product of the multi-core technology development...
