Vision based robot navigation
In this thesis we propose a vision-based robot navigation system that constructs a high level topological representation of the world. A robot using this system learns to recognize rooms and spaces by building a hidden Markov model of the environment. Motion planning is performed by doing …

Robot navigation using ultrasonic feedback
This thesis presents an autonomous navigation program for West Virginia University's mobile robot platform ANT. The program allows the ANT to find a predefined goal by comparing sensor data with a given map of the environment. ANT's ultrasonic sensors were used to sample the surroundings …

ROBOT NAVIGATION IN CROWDED DYNAMIC SCENES
Autonomous mobile robots are beginning to try to help us provide different delivery services in people's lives, such as delivering medicines in hospitals, delivering goods in warehouses, and delivering food in restaurants. To realize this vision, robots need to navigate autonomously and efficiently …
