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. Towards On-line Learning Agents for Autonomous Navigation

   Author : Guang Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; path-finding; head direction; artificial neural network; spatial representation; on-line learning; navigation; localization; autonomous mobile robot; obstacle avoidance; place learning;

   Abstract : The design of a mechatronic agent capable of navigating autonomously in a changing and perhaps previously unfamiliar environment is a very challenging issue. This thesis addresses this issue from both functional and system perspectives. READ MORE

7. 5. Reactive Navigation Methods for Autonomous Robots: Safety, Coordination, and Field Deployment

   Author : Björn Lindqvist; George Nikolakopoulos; Christoforos Kanellakis; Alberto Bemporad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Field Robotics; NMPC; Obstacle Avoidance; Collision Avoidance; Multi-agent Systems; Robot Navigation; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence; Robotik och artificiell intelligens;

   Abstract : In the new era of intelligent systems, small-scale electronics, and advanced sensors, the application use-cases and operational capabilities of autonomous robots are exponentially increasing. Through their ability to execute complex tasks while relying only on onboard sensors and computation, autonomous field robots are showing promising results in inspection of infrastructure, search-and-rescue or surveillance, maintenance tasks, or in general operations in areas that prove to be dangerous or hazardous for human operators to enter, while also often increasing the efficiency of such tasks.
