Mobile robot navigation in dynamic environments
Service robots which act in environments populated by humans have <br>become very popular in the last few years. A variety of systems exists <br>which act for example in hospitals, office buildings, department <br>stores, and museums. Furthermore, several multi-robot systems have <br>been developed …

Vector Distance Transform Maps for Autonomous Mobile Robot Navigation
Robot localization, where the position and the orientation of a mobile robot is estimated based on an 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘪 map, is a fundamental problem in autonomous mobile robot navigation. In this thesis, we present how environments can be represented using the vector distance transform for mobile robot …

Autonomous Mobile Robot Navigation in Dynamic Real-World Environments Without Maps With Zero-Shot Deep Reinforcement Learning
Operation of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) of all forms that include wheeled ground vehicles, quadrupeds and humanoids in dynamically changing GPS denied environments without a-priori maps, exclusively using onboard sensors, is an unsolved problem that has potential to transform the economy, and …

Navigation in unknown environment by building instantaneous spatial structures
A strategy typically employed for mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment is to follow a nominal straight-line path to the goal point. During travelling on the nominal path, the robot uses distance information, e.g. derived from sonar sensors, and geometric information to determine the …

Reinforcement Learning for Mobile Robot Collision Avoidance in Navigation Tasks
<p>Collision avoidance is fundamental for mobile robot navigation. In general, its solutions include: {\it map-based} and {\it mapless approaches.} In the map-based approach, robots pre-plan collision-free paths based on an environment map and follow their paths during navigation. On the other …

Long-term robot mapping in dynamic environments
One of the central goals in mobile robotics is to develop a mobile robot that can construct a map of an initially unknown dynamic environment. This is often referred to as the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem. A number of approaches to the SLAM problem have been successfully …

Multisensor data fusion for robotic control
Nowadays robots perform more and more tasks, from simpler ones such as automatic domestic vacuum cleaner, to highly skilled ones such as tele-surgery. To do so a robot continuously needs to know what to do and what has been done. A user controls robots through a system controller, which processes …

Navigation and Control of an Autonomous Vehicle
The navigation and control of an autonomous vehicle is a highly complex task. Making a vehicle intelligent and able to operate "unmanned" requires extensive theoretical as well as practical knowledge. An autonomous vehicle must be able to make decisions and respond to situations completely on its …
