  2. 1. Mobile Robot Traversability Mapping : For Outdoor Navigation

    Author : Peter Nordin; Petter Krus; Jonas Nygårds; Nils Axel Andersen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Traversability; Laser; Roughness; Mapping; Planning; Mobile robot; Navigation; Implementation;

    Abstract : To avoid getting stuck or causing damage to a vehicle or its surroundings a driver must be able to identify obstacles and adapt speed to ground conditions. An automatically controlled vehicle must be able to handle these identifications and adjustments by itself using sensors, actuators and control software. READ MORE

  4. 2. Indoor Navigation for Mobile Robots : Control and Representations

    Author : Philipp Althaus; KTH; []
    Keywords : mobile robots; robot navigation; indoor navigation; behaviour based robotics; hybrid deliberative systems; dynamical systems approach; topological maps; symbol anchoring; autonomous mapping; human-robot interaction;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with various aspects of indoor navigationfor mobile robots. For a system that moves around in ahousehold or office environment,two major problems must betackled. First, an appropriate control scheme has to bedesigned in order to navigate the platform. Second, the form ofrepresentations of the environment must be chosen. READ MORE

  5. 3. Efficient Remote Gas Inspection with an Autonomous Mobile Robot

    Author : Muhammad Asif Arain; Achim Lilienthal; Erik Schaffernicht; Victor Hernandez Bennetts; Marcello Cirillo; Marco Trincavelli; Pedro Lima; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; environmental monitoring; measurement planning; remote gas sensing; mobile robot olfaction; service robots;

    Abstract : Human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are one of the major sources of global warming, which is threatening to reach a tipping point. Inspection systems that can provide direct information about critical factors causing global warming, such as systems for gas detection and location of gas sources, are urgently needed to analyze the fugitive emissions and take necessary actions.

  6. 4. A component framework for autonomous mobile robots

    Author : Anders Orebäck; Henrik I. Christiensen; Iiiah R. Nourbakhsh; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datorteknik; robotics; mobile robots; autonomour robots; component-based software engineering; software architectures; Datorteknik; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Abstract : The major problem of robotics research today is that there is a barrier to entry into robotics research. Robot system software is complex and a researcher that wishes to concentrate on one particular problem often needs to learn about details, dependencies and intricacies of the complete system.

  7. 5. Robot Task Learning from Human Demonstration

    Author : Staffan Ekvall; Danica Kragic; Marcus Vincze; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Robotics; Machine Learning; Artificial Intelligence; Computer Vision; Programming by Demonstration; Grasp Mappping; Grasp Recognition; Robot Grasping; Planning; Autonomous Robots; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Today, most robots used in the industry are preprogrammed and require a welldefined and controlled environment. Reprogramming such robots is often a costly process requiring an expert. By enabling robots to learn tasks from human demonstration, robot installation and task reprogramming are simplified. READ MORE
