Robotic sailing vehicles can provide the support for carrying out long ocean sampling missions, using solely renewable energy for propulsion and for powering the computing, communication and electromechanical systems. The basic automatic sailing tasks required to visit a sequence of waypoints has already been correctly addressed by various teams. However, an effective system for specifying long term...
In many mobile robot application, navigation is a critical issues. This paper deals with the localization and building problem in an unknown indoor environment. We propose an exploration based on the use of the sensorial data provided by one CCD camera and odometer system. In this paper, the first part of our study is linked to the problem of Vehicle Model and the algorithm model. The second part...
This paper presents a system to control Autonomously Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in a flexible manufacturing setting allowing numerous vehicles to make informed decisions amongst themselves as well as between the governing computer system(s). These decisions allow work order acceptance, path planning, navigation, and traffic management to be autonomously operated - rather than pre-programmed as are the...
The design concept and development status of an autonomous kiwifruit-picking robot is presented. The robot has an intelligent vision system that ensures that only ldquogoodrdquo fruit is picked. The robot receives instruction by radio link and operates autonomously as it navigates through the orchard, picking fruit, unloading full bins of fruit, fetching empty bins and protecting the picked fruit...
