Autonomous navigation for BigDog

2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2010
BigDog is a four legged robot with exceptional rough-terrain mobility. In this paper, we equip BigDog with a laser scanner, stereo vision system, and perception and navigation algorithms. Using these sensors and algorithms, BigDog performs autonomous navigation to goal positions in unstructured forest environments.

Learning for Autonomous Navigation

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2010
Autonomous navigation by a mobile robot through L natural, unstructured terrain is one of the premier k challenges in field robotics. Tremendous advances V in autonomous navigation have been made recently in field robotics. Machine learning has played an increasingly important role in these advances. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

Optic Flow and Autonomous Navigation

Perception, 1995
Many animals, especially insects, compute and use optic flow to control their motion direction and to avoid obstacles. Recent advances in computer vision have shown that an adequate optic flow can be computed from image sequences. Therefore studying whether artificial systems, such as robots, can use optic flow for similar purposes is of particular ...

Visual algorithms for autonomous navigation

Proceedings. 1985 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2005
The Computer Vision Laboratory at the University of Maryland is designing and developing a vision system for autonomous ground navigation. Our approach to visual navigation segments the task into three levels called long range, intermediate range and short range navigation.

Autonomous underwater navigation and control

Robotica, 2001
This paper describes the autonomous navigation and control of an undersea vehicle using a vehicle control architecture based on the Distributed Architeclure for Mobile Navigation and a terrain-aided navigation technique based on simultaneous localisation and map building.

On autonomous navigation in a natural environment

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 1995
This paper presents a task-oriented approach that we developed for the perception system of a cross-country autonomous robot. We introduce an adaptive navigation method, well suited for the characteristics of complex natural environments. This approach is based on a multi-purpose perception system that manages different terrain representations.

Autonomous navigation in a manufacturing environment

IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, 1990
Current approaches towards achieving mobility in the workplace are reviewed. The role of automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) and some of the preliminary work of other groups in autonomous vehicles are described. An overview is presented of the autonomous robot architecture (AuRA), a general-purpose system designed for experimentation in the domain of ...

Localisation for Autonomous Humanoid Navigation

2006 6th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots, 2006
Autonomous humanoid navigation in non-trivial environments requires high precision accuracy due to the difficulty in achieving stable bipedal locomotion. In particular, an accurate localisation estimate is needed to plan footstep placement on a narrow staircase.
