Autonomous navigation in natural environments
2005This paper presents the approach, algorithms and processes we developed to perform autonomous navigation in a natural environment. After a description of the global approach, we discuss the characteristics of natural environment representations. Then the perception functions for terrain mapping and robot localization, as well as motion planning are ...

Autonomous Navigation for On-Orbit Servicing
KI - Künstliche Intelligenz, 2014On-orbit servicing missions induce challenges for the rendezvous and docking system since a typical target satellite is not specially prepared for such a mission, can be partly damaged or even freely tumbling with lost attitude control. In contrast to manned spaceflight or formation flying missions, new sensors and algorithms have to be designed for ...

"OXNAV": reliable autonomous navigation
Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002A novel Kalman filter based sonar navigation system is presented that utilises directed sensing techniques to achieve continuous indoor localisation of a mobile robot. Data from extensive trials is summarised demonstrating continuous, reliable, localisation using this system in a wide variety of active industrial sites.

Tele-Autonomous Watercraft Navigation
2007This paper concerns the instrumenting of a small watercraft to support a hybrid navigation strategy which combines remote human supervisory guidance with reaction based obstacle avoidance. This style of control is called ‘tele-autonomous’. Potential applications include search and rescue operations, coastal surveillance, water pollution source tracing ...

THE USE OF OPTICAL FLOW FOR THE AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION
International Journal of Neural Systems, 1992Insects and a lot of other animals use the optical flow to control the direction of their motion and to avoid obstacles. This paper describes experiments suggesting the possible use of the optical flow for the navigation of a robot moving in indoor and outdoor environments.

Autonomous and navigation in a structured environment
Conference Proceedings., IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2003The author describes a hardware and software system developed to perform autonomous navigation of a land vehicle in a structured environment. The vehicle used for development and testing of the system was the Jeep Cherokee Mobile Robotics Testbed Vehicle developed at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque.

The use of optical flow for the autonomous navigation
1994This paper describes the analysis of image sequences taken by a T.V. camera mounted on a car moving in usual outdoor sceneries. Because of the presence of shocks and vibrations during the image acquisition, the numerical computation of temporal derivatives is very noisy and therefore differential techniques to compute the optical flow do not provide ...

Autonomous road vehicle navigation
Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000, 1995The US Army Missile Command is conducting a program to develop and demonstrate a simple, low cost machine vision system capable of allowing an unmanned ground vehicle to perform autonomous road following and obstacle avoidance while using a minimum sensor suite.
