An algorithm is proposed to do reconstruction of the environment from the omnidirectional image and global localization of the robot in the context of the Middle Size League RoboCup field. This is accomplished by learning a set of visual landmarks such as the goals and the corner posts. Due to the dynamic changing environment and the partially observable landmarks, four localization cases are discussed in order to get robust localization performance. Localization is performed using a method that matches the observed landmarks, i.e. color blobs, which are extracted from the environment. The advantages of the cylindrical projection are discussed giving special consideration to the characteristics of the visual landmark and the meaning of the blob extraction. The analysis is established based on real time experiments with our omnidirectional vision system and the actual mobile robot. The comparative studies are presented and the feasibility of the method is shown.展开更多

It is aimed at developing of exploration and information gathering robotic system in unknown environment. Here, each mobile robot is not possible to know its own position. It can only estimate its own position by using the measurement value including white noise acquired by two omnidirectional cameras mounted on it. Each mobile robot is able to obtain the distance to those robots observed from the images of two omnidirectional cameras while making calibration during moving but not in advance. Simulation of three robots moving straightly shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

But in case of active moving obstacle, many components and information need to process since their moving trace should be considered in real time. This paper mobile robot＇s driving algorithm of unknown dynamic envirormaent in order to drive intelligently to destination using ultrasonic and Global Positional Systern （GPS）. Sensors adjusted the placement dependment on driving of robot, and the robot plans the evasion method according to obstacle which are detected by sensors. The robot saves GPS coordinate of complex obstacle. If there are many repeated driving, robot creates new obstacles to the hr, ation by itself. And then it drives to the destination resolving a large range of local minirmnn point If it needs an intelligent circtmtantial decision, a proposed algorithm is suited for effective obstacle avoidance and arrival at the destination by performing simulations.展开更多
