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.

Cohesive Autonomous Navigation System

AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference, 2016
The ability for a robotic system to fully and autonomously interact with its environment is key to the future of applications such as commercial package delivery services, elderly robotic assistants, agricultural monitoring systems, natural disaster search and rescue robots, civil construction monitoring systems, robotic satellite servicing, and many ...

Inertial Autonomous Navigation Technology

2020
In this chapter, the measurement equations of gyroscope and accelerometer and the differential equations of strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) are presented at first. For high accurate application, in order to reduce the influence of output noise on the calculation accuracy of the system and make full use of the output information, the outputs

Autonomous road vehicle navigation

Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, 1994
Abstract This paper describes a new modular hardware design for an autonomous land vehicle, together with techniques for navigation and obstacle avoidance. A “bootstrap” algorithm is described which aligns the vehicle from an arbitrary starting point using the road's vanishing point.

Autonomous indoor 3D navigation

Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis, 2015
A description of a new approach to the solution of the problem of autonomous indoor navigation is presented that is based on active use of models of virtual reality, 3D simulation, visualization of objects of the internal infrastructure of buildings, and the development of a client--server system of autonomous navigation inside these objects.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Navigation

2016
This chapter surveys the problem of navigation for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV s). Navigation is critical for the safety and effectiveness of AUV missions. The unavailability of global positioning system (GPS ) underwater makes AUV navigation a challenging research problem.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Navigation

IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering, 2010
This paper considers the vehicle navigation problem for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with six degrees of freedom. We approach this problem using an error state formulation of the Kalman filter. Integration of the vehicle's high-rate inertial measurement unit's (IMU's) accelerometers and gyros allow time propagation while other sensors provide

Autonome Navigation eines Feldroboters

2018
This work is based on the research project FRANC-Field Robot for Advanced Navigation in bio-Crops which actually had already been finished. The first part of this thesis aims to evaluate, whether the navigation tools of the softwareframework, which was designated for the prototype built in the course of the project, are suitable for the robot.

Tele-Autonomous Watercraft Navigation

2007
This 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 ...
