Evaluation of laser range-finder mapping for agricultural spraying vehicles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper, we present a new application of laser range-finder sensing to agricultural spraying vehicles. The current generation of spraying vehicles use automatic controllers to maintain the height of the sprayer booms above the crop. However, these

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a

Autonomous Navigation in Large‐Scale Underground Environments Based on a Purely Topological Understanding of Tunnel Networks

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work presents a non‐geometrical navigation approach based on a purely topological understanding of underground environments. By conceptualizing subterranean scenarios as a set of tunnels that intersect with each other, and taking a navigation approach based on topological instructions, we simplify the navigation problem to the sequential ...

Benthic habitat mapping in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary: Classification of side scan sonar data from survey HMPR-108-2002-01: Version I [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In September 2002, side scan sonar was used to image a portion of the sea floor in the northern OCNMS and was mosaiced at 1-meter pixel resolution using 100 kHz data collected at 300-meter range scale.

Integrated assessment of the buried wreck site of the Dutch East Indiaman 't Vliegent Hart [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Op 3 februari 1735 verging het VOC-schip t Vliegent Hart vlak voor de kust van Zeeland. De resultaten van diverse duikcampagnes en akoestisch onderzoek (side-scan sonar, multibeam, seismiek) van het begraven wrak van deze Nederlandse Oost-Indiëvaarder ...

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

Classifying seabed sediments using local auto-correlation features [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Understanding the distribution of seafloor sediment using a side-scan sonar is very important to grasp the distribution of seabed resources. This task is traditionally carried out by a skilled human operator.

Efficient AUV Navigation Fusing Acoustic Ranging and Side-scan Sonar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper presents an on-line nonlinear least squares algorithm for multi-sensor autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation. The approach integrates the global constraints of range to and GPS position of a surface vehicle or buoy communicated ...
