Vision Based Autonomous Robot Navigation Algorithms and Implementations


Free Download Vision Based Autonomous Robot Navigation: Algorithms and Implementations By Amitava Chatterjee, Anjan Rakshit, N. Nirmal Singh (auth.)
2013 | 226 Pages | ISBN: 3642339646 | PDF | 12 MB
This monograph is devoted to the theory and development of autonomous navigation of mobile robots using computer vision based sensing mechanism. The conventional robot navigation systems, utilizing traditional sensors like ultrasonic, IR, GPS, laser sensors etc., suffer several drawbacks related to either the physical limitations of the sensor or incur high cost. Vision sensing has emerged as a popular alternative where cameras can be used to reduce the overall cost, maintaining high degree of intelligence, flexibility and robustness.This book includes a detailed description of several new approaches for real life vision based autonomous navigation algorithms and SLAM. It presents the concept of how subgoal based goal-driven navigation can be carried out using vision sensing. The development concept of vision based robots for path/line tracking using fuzzy logic is presented, as well as how a low-cost robot can be indigenously developed in the laboratory with microcontroller based sensor systems. The book describes successful implementation of integration of low-cost, external peripherals, with off-the-shelf procured robots. An important highlight of the book is that it presents a detailed, step-by-step sample demonstration of how vision-based navigation modules can be actually implemented in real life, under 32-bit Windows environment. The book also discusses the concept of implementing vision based SLAM employing a two camera based system.

Intelligent Mobile Robot Navigation


Free Download Intelligent Mobile Robot Navigation By Federico Cuesta, AnĂ­bal Ollero (auth.)
2005 | 204 Pages | ISBN: 3540239561 | PDF | 11 MB
Intelligent Mobile Robot Navigation builds upon the application of fuzzy logic to the area of intelligent control of mobile robots. Reactive, planned and teleoperated techniques are considered, leading to the development of novel fuzzy control systems for perception and navigation of nonholonomic autonomous vehicles. The unique feature of this monograph lies in its comprehensive treatment of the problem from the theoretical development of the various schemes down to the real-time implementation of algorithms on mobile robot prototypes. As such, the book spans across different domains ranging from mobile robots to intelligent transportation systems, from automatic control to artificial intelligence.
