| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research has been the development of the technology to realize a mobile robot to navigate to the given destination in the real environment, by using its own knowledge on the environment and its own sensor information.
Especially, the outdoor environment in the University campus was selected as the work area of the robot.
For this problem, we investigated on ;
(1) out-door environment recognition using the image,
(2) method to build and use the environment map for navigation,
(3) method for planning the safe and robust path to reach the goal,
(4) real time position estimation using the sensor information and map, and
(5) control of non-holonomic vehicle to follow the give path on the rough ground surface.
Using the results of these consideration, we have built up a concrete mobile robot system for the experiments, and succeeded in navigation experiments on the pedestrians in University campus.
