위치 추정기술은 이동 로봇에 있어 매우 중요한 문제이다. 위치 인식을 위해 사용되는 센서는 고가의 센서일수록 정확한 위치정보를 얻을 수 있지만 원가 절감 등의 이유로 저가의 센서를 사용할 경우 오차가 커지고 신뢰도가 하락한다. 오차를 보상하기 위해 본 논문에서는 센서의 잡음 특성을 세분화 하여 고려한 칼만 필터 기반의 위치 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다.

This paper proposes a position estimation of a mobile robot based on USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) and encoder, and development of tele-operation system using Internet. USN used in experiments is based on ZigBee protocol and has location estimation engine which uses RSSI signal to estimate distance between nodes. By distortion the estimated distance using RSSI is not correct, compensation method is needed. We obtained fuzzy model to calculate more accurate distance between nodes and use encoder which is built in robot to estimate accurate position of robot. Based on proposed position estimation method, tele-operation system was developed. We show by experiment that proposed method is more appropriate for estimation of position and remote navigation of mobile robot through Internet.

For the measurement of absolute position of mobile robot in indoor environments, the ultrasonic positioning systems using ultrasound have been researched for several years. Most of these ultrasonic positioning systems to avoid interference between the ultrasound are used for sequential transmitting. However, due to the use of sequential transmitting, the positions of transmitter to receive an ultrasound will change when the mobile robot moves. Therefore the accuracy of positioning is reduced. In this paper, the new position estimation algorithm with weighting factor according to the time of receipt is proposed. By applying the proposed algorithm to existing Ultrasonic Satellite System(USAT), the improved USAT is configured. The positioning performance of the improved USAT with the proposed position estimation algorithm are verified by experiments.

Comparing with fixed-type Robots, Mobile Robots have the advantage of extending their workspaces. But this advantage need some sensors to detect mobile robot's position and find their goal point. This article describe the navigation teaching method of mobile robot using omni-directional position detection system. This system offers the brief position data to a processor with simple devices. In other words, when user points a goal point, this system revise the error by comparing its heading angle and position with the goal. For these processes, this system use a conic mirror and a single camera. As a result, this system reduce the image processing time to search the target for mobile robot navigation ordered by user.

This paper proposes an algerian for determining robot location using appearance-based paradigm. First, this algorithm compresses the image set using Principal Component Analysis(PCA) to obtain a low-dimensional subspace, called the eigenspace, and it makes a manifold that represent a continuous-appearance function. Neural network is employed to estimate the location of the mobile robot from the coefficients of the eigenspace. Then, Kalman filtering scheme is used for the fine estimation of the robot location. The algorithm has been implemented and tested on a mobile robot system. It is shown that the robot location is estimated accurately in several trials.

Color 이미지 데이터 베이스로부터 원하는 이미지를 찾아내는 방법으로 image indexing에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 image indexing의 한 방법인 color indexing을 이용하여 이동 로봇의 위치 추정 문제를 해결하고자 한다. Color indexing은 영상의 color 분포를 분석하여 원하는 이미지를 찾아내는 기법으로 로봇은 사전에 저장되어 있는 주변 환경에 대한 모델 이미지들로부터 현재 입력되는 영상과 가장 가까운 이미지를 찾아낸다. 또한 로봇은 찾아진 영상을 이용하여 사전에 저장되어 있는 지도상에서의 자신의 위치를 추정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적으로 로봇이 작업하는 환경의 조명 상황이 일정하지 않음을 고려하여 다양한 조명 상태에 대하여 여러 가지 color indexing 알고리즘을 적용하여 실험하였으며 matching된 이미지를 이용하여 지도상에서의 로봇의 위치를 추정하는 구체적인 방법을 제시하고 실험을 통하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper reports a localization method of a mobile robot using ceiling image. The ceiling has landmarks which are not distinguishablefrom one another. The location of every landmark in a map is given a priori while correspondence is not given between a detected landmark and a landmark in the map. Only the initial pose of the robot relative to the landmarks is given. The method uses particle filter approach for localization. Along with estimating robot pose, the method also associates a landmark in the map to a landmark detected from the ceiling image. The method is tested in an indoor environment which has circular landmarks on the ceiling. The test verifies the feasibility of the method in an environment where range data to walls or to beacons are not available or severely corrupted with noise. This method is useful for localization in a warehouse where measurement by Laser range finder and range data to beacons of RF or ultrasonic signal have large uncertainty.

In this paper, we have fabricated the position detection system with LED and optical sensor to detect a position and trace of robot through visible light communication (VLC). The fabricated position detection system did not have been affected by sunlight in outdoor and a fluorescent light in building. Because 4 LEDs, respectively, transmitted different signals, we have known the position of robot. And we have also observed a trajectory of robot in real time.

This paper presents localization algorithm for mobile robot in outdoor environment. Outdoor environment includes the uncertainty on the ground. Magnetic sensor or IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit) has been used to estimate robot's heading angle. Two sensor is unavailable because mobile robot is electric car affected by magnetic field. Heading angle estimation algorithm for mobile robot is implemented using gyro sensor module consisting of 1-axis gyro sensors. Localization algorithm applied Extended Kalman filter that utilized GPS and encoder, gyro sensor module. Experiment results show that proposed localization algorithm improve considerably localization performance of mobile robots.
