This paper propose a fuzzy inference model for map building and navigation for a mobile robot with an active camera, which is intelligently navigating to the goal location in unknown environments using sensor fusion, based on situational command using an active camera sensor. Active cameras provide a mobile robot with the capability to estimate and track feature images over a hallway field of view. In this paper, instead of using "physical sensor fusion" method which generates the trajectory of a robot based upon the environment model and sensory data. Command fusion method is used to govern the robot navigation. The navigation strategy is based on the combination of fuzzy rules tuned for both goal-approach and obstacle-avoidance. To identify the environments, a command fusion technique is introduced, where the sensory data of active camera sensor for navigation experiments are fused into the identification process. Navigation performance improves on that achieved using fuzzy inference alone and shows significant advantages over command fusion techniques. Experimental evidences are provided, demonstrating that the proposed method can be reliably used over a wide range of relative positions between the active camera and the feature images.

The global positioning system (GPS)-enabled mobile phones provide location-based applications such as car and pedestrian navigation services. The pedestrian navigation services provide safe and comfortable route and path guidance for pedestrians and handicapped or elderly people. One of the essential components for a navigation system is a spatial database used to perform navigation and routing functions. In this paper, we develop modeling and categorization of pedestrian path components for smart tour guide services using the mobile pedestrian navigation application. We create pedestrian networks using 2D base map and sky view map in urban area. We also construct pedestrian networks and attributes of node, link, and POI using on-site GPS data and photos for smart pedestrian tour guide in the major walking tourist spots in Jeju.

Recently, number of navigation system using GPS and other complementary sensors has been developed to offer high-position accuracy. In this paper, an integration of GPS and Dead-Reckoning, which consists of a fiber optical gyroscope and two high-precision wheel-motor encoders for a unmanned navigation system, is presented. The main objective of this integrated GPS/DR unmanned navigation system is to provide accurate position and heading navigation data continuously for autonomous mobile robot. We propose a method for increasing the accuracy of the estimated position of the mobile robot by its DR sensors, high-precision wheel-motor encoders and a fiber optical gyroscope. We used Kalman filter theory to combine GPS and DR measurements. The performance of GPS/DR navigation system is evaluated.

In this paper, we implemented a safety navigation mobile application that converged AtoN information and location-based services. When application user uses the smartphone's GPS sensor to transmit the user's vessel location data to the data server, the user receives information of which its providing range is considered, such as stored AtoN data, neighboring vessels information, danger area, and weather information in the server. Providing information is sorted based on the smartphone's direction and inclination and it will be also delivered via wireless network (5G, LTE, 3G, WiFi). Additionally the application is available to implement other functions such as information provision through voice and text alarming service when the user's vessel is either approaching or entering the danger area, and an expanded information provision service that is available in shadow area linking with data-storing methods; other linkable data such as weather and other neighboring vessels will be applied based on the lasted-saved data perceived from the non-shadow area.

모바일 디바이스의 인터랙션에 있어서 사용자 경험의 가장 중요한 부분 중의 하나는 네비게이션 디자인이다. 네비게이션 디자인은 사용자들이 모바일 어플리케이션을 활용하여 원하는 기능을 수행하고 필요한 정보와 콘텐츠에 접근하는데 핵심적인 역할을 담당한다. 이 과정에서 사용자들의 문화적 특성과 배경의 차이는 네비게이션 디자인에 영향을 줄 수 있으며 그에 따라 사용자 경험은 큰 차이를 나타낼 수 있다. 이 연구는 중국과 미국의 인기 있는 모바일 쇼핑 어플리케이션 네비게이션 디자인을 비교하여 차이점을 고찰하고 그 원인에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 근거로 중국인들은 풍부한 정보와 화려한 이미지, 다양한 메뉴방식을 선호하며, 미국인들은 단순한 디자인과 레이아웃, 제한된 유형의 메뉴 방식을 선호함을 발견하였다. 또한, 문화적 특성을 반영한 두 가지 방향의 모바일 쇼핑 어플리케이션 네비게이션 디자인 시안을 제작하여 중국과 미국 사용자들을 대상으로 선호도를 평가하였으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 분석 결과가 타당함을 검증하였다.

In the navigation for a mobile robot, the collision avoidance with unexpected obstacles is essential for the safe navigation and it is independent of the technique used to control the mobile robot. This paper presents a new collision avoidance algorithm using neural network for the safe navigation of the autonomous mobile robot equipped with CAN and ultrasonic sensors. A tracked wheeled mobile robot has a stability and an efficiency to move on a rough ground. And its mechanism is simple. However it has difficulties to recognize its surroundings. Because the shape of the tracked wheeled mobile robot is a square type, sensor modules are generally located on the each plane surface of 4 sides only. In this paper, the algorithm using neural network is proposed in order to avoid unexpected obstacles. The important character of the proposed algorithm is to be able to detect the distance and the angle of inclination of obstacles. Only using datum of the distance and the angle, informations about the location and shape of obstacles are obtained, and then the driving direction is changed. Consequently, this algorithm is capable of real time processing and available for a mobile robot which has few sensor modules or the limited sensing range such as a tracked wheeled mobile robot. Effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is illustrated through a computer simulation and an experiment using a real robot.

본 논문에서는 단일 카메라와 초음파센서 데이터를 융합하는 이동 로봇 주행제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이진화 영상처리를 위한 임계값을 영상 정보와 초음파센서 정보를 이용하는 퍼지추론기법으로 설정하였다. 임계값을 상황에 따라 가변하면 조도가 낮은 환경에서도 장애물 인식이 향상된다. 카메라 영상 정보와 초음파 센서 정보를 융합하여 장애물에 대한 격자지도를 생성하고 원궤적 경로기법으로 장애물을 회피하도록 한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 입증하기 위하여 조도가 낮은 실내와 좁은 복도에서 Pioneer 2-DX 이동로봇의 주행제어에 적용하였다.

Line tracking is a well defined method of mobile robot navigation. It is simple in concept, technically easy to implement, and already employed in many industrial sites. Among several different line tracking methods, magnetic sensing is widely used in practice. In comparison, vision-based tracking is less popular due mainly to its sensitivity to surrounding conditions such as brightness and floor characteristics although vision is the most powerful robotic sensing capability. In this paper, a vision-based robust path line detection technique is proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot assuming uncontrollable surrounding conditions. The technique proposed has four processing steps; color space transformation, pixel-level line sensing, block-level line sensing, and robot navigation control. This technique effectively uses hue and saturation color values in the line sensing so to be insensitive to the brightness variation. Line finding in block-level makes not only the technique immune from the error of line pixel detection but also the robot control easy. The proposed technique was tested with a real mobile robot and proved its effectiveness.

Navigation is a science of directing a mobile robot as traversing the environment. The purpose of navigation is to reach a destination without getting lost or crashing into any obstacles. In this paper, we use a genetic algorithm for navigation. Genetic algorithm searches for path in the entire, continuous free space and unifies global path planning and local path planning. It is the efficient and effective method when compared with navigators using traditional approaches.

This paper aims to investigate the navigation control of a mobile robot in a confined environment. Steering angle becomes control variable which is computed from the fuzzy control rules. The identification method proposed in this paper presents the fuzzy control rules obtained through modelling of. the driving actions of human operator. The feasibility of the proposed method is evaluated through the application of the identified fuzzy controls rules to the navigation control of a mobile robot which follows the center of a corridor.
