The work present in this paper deals with a navigation problem for multiple mobile robots in unknown indoor environments. The environments are completely unknown to the robots; thus, proximity sensors installed on the robots' bodies must be used to detect information about the surroundings. The environments simulated in this work are dynamic ones which contain not only static but also moving obstacles. In order to guide the robot to move along a collision-free path and reach the goal, this paper presented a navigation method based on fuzzy approach. Then genetic algorithms were applied to optimize the membership functions and rules of the fuzzy controller. The simulation results verified that the proposed method effectively addresses the mobile robot navigation problem.

Although the actual visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms provide highly accurate tracking and mapping, most algorithms are too heavy to run live on embedded devices. In addition, the maps they produce are often unsuitable for path planning. To mitigate these issues, we propose a completely closed-loop online dense RGB-D SLAM algorithm targeting autonomous indoor mobile robot navigation tasks. The proposed algorithm runs live on an NVIDIA Jetson board embedded on a two-wheel differential-drive robot. It exhibits lightweight three-dimensional mapping, room-scale consistency, accurate pose tracking, and robustness to moving objects. Further, we introduce a navigation strategy based on the proposed algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed SLAM algorithm, its computational efficiency, and its benefits for on-the-fly navigation while mapping.

본 논문은 다양한 형태의 방해물에 대한 정보를 알 수 없는 미지의 환경에서 자율이동 로봇의 항법에 관한 제안을 하고 있다. 로봇의 이동에 따른 주변의 정보는 로봇에 부착되어 있는 근접센서를 통하여 감지하고, 충돌을 피하고 목적지에 가능한 한 빨리 도착할 수 있는 경로로 유도하기 위하여 퍼지추론에 기반 한 항해방법을 개발하였다. 여기에서 방해물들은 정지되어 있고 정형화된 경우와 비정형화된 형태들이 고려되었으며 미로와 U형태의 계곡으로 구성된 예리한 방해물들을 특별히 포함하고 있다. 벽을 따라 이동하는 방법 또한 제안하고 있으며 모의실험을 통하여 제안하고 있는 방법이 이동로봇의 항법문제를 해결하는 효과적인 방법이 된다는 것을 증명하였다.

The objective of this paper is to design a adaptive fuzzy controller for autonomous navigation of mobile robot. The adaptive fuzzy controller has an advantage in data processing time and convergence speed. The basic idea of control is to induct membership function and fuzzy inference rules and to scale inducted membership function to suitable robot state. The adaptive fuzzy control method is applied to mobile robot and the simulation results show the effectiveness of our controller.

This paper proposes an algorithm for navigation of an autonomous mobile robot with vision sensor. For obstacle avoidance, we used a curvature trajectory method. Using this method, translational and rotational speeds are controlled independently and the mobile robot traces a smooth curvature trajectory that consists of circle trajectories to a target point. While trying to avoid obstacles, the robot fan be goal-directed using curvature trajectory.

A simple look and move type navigation algorithm with obstacle avoidance was implemented on a mobile robot equipped with two cameras. The robot gets a difference of two images from each camera and detects the position represented on the horizontal line and width of each obstacle in a certain distance. The obtained informations of obstacles are used to select a next intermediate point and to plan a path to it. Robot motion is simplified to straight line motion and rotation.

In this paper, we use Fuzzy Logic and Potential field method for optimal path planning of an autonomous mobile robot and apply to navigation for real-time mobile robot in 2D dynamic environment. For safe navigation of the robot, we use both Global and Local path planning. Global path planning is computed off-line using sell-decomposition and Dijkstra algorithm and Local path planning is computed on-line with sensor information using potential field method and Fuzzy Logic. We can get gravitation between two feature points and repulsive force between obstacle and robot through potential field. It is described as a summation of the result of repulsive force between obstacle and robot which is considered as an input through Fuzzy Logic and gravitation to a feature point. With this force, the robot fan get to desired target point safely and fast avoiding obstacles. We Implemented the proposed algorithm with Pioneer-DXE robot in this paper.

본 논문에서는 Zigbee 기반 무선센서네트웍과 레고 마인드스톰 NXT 모듈을 이용하여 이동로봇의 원격주행제어시스템을 개발하였다. 기존 회전센서(encoder)에 의한 이동로봇 위치제어의 오차 문제(미끄러짐 등)를 해결하고 좀 더 정확하게 이동로봇을 제어하기 위해 본 논문에서는 무선센서네트웍상의 초음파모듈을 사용하였다. 초음파의 문제점인 직진성과 협소한 감지범위의 단점을 극복하기 위해 이동로봇에 부착된 이동 노드를 360도 회전시킴으로써 4개의 고정 노드로부터 각각의 거리를 측정하여 삼각측량법에 의해 로봇의 정확한 위치를 추정하였다. 또한 이동로봇의 전면에 부착된 USB 웹 카메라를 사용하여 스마트폰으로 영상이 송신되도록 하였다. 그 결과 스마트폰을 통해 로봇의 위치와 이동로봇의 주변상황을 확인함으로써 이동 로봇을 정확하게 제어할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of increasing the efficiency of disaster relief rescue operations through collaboration among multiple aerial and ground robots. The robots create 2.5D maps, which are merged into a 2.5D map. The 2.5D map can be handled by a low-specification controller of an aerial robot and is suitable for ground robot navigation. For localization of the aerial robot, a six-degree-of-freedom pose recognition method using VIO was applied. To build a 2.5D map, an image conversion technique was employed. In addition, to merge 2.5D maps, an image similarity calculation technique based on the features on a wall was used. Localization and navigation were performed using a ground robot to evaluate the reliability of the 2.5D map. As a result, it was possible to estimate the location with an average and standard error of less than 0.3 m for the place where the 2.5D map was normally built, and there were only four collisions for the obstacle with the smallest volume. Based on the 2.5D map building and map merging system for the aerial robot used in this study, it is expected that disaster response work efficiency can be improved by combining the advantages of heterogeneous robots.
