Master Thesis presentation: Robot navigation and mapping with vision-based obstacle avoidance

Date: June 17, 2009 (Wednesday) at 13:00 to 14:00

Erik Rufelt presents his Master Thesis "Robot navigation and mapping with vision-based obstacle avoidance".

Abstract:
The robot needs a control software giving it a desired behavior, when allowed to roam freely in an indoors environment. Achieving satisfying behavior involves several sub-problems, to enable the robot to respond correctly to different situations. The major part of the project includes avoiding collisions with the environment, which is the most basic task; mapping the environment, path-finding in an explored environment, and handling dynamic obstacles, normally humans moving around in the environment. Enabling proper path-finding requires the map to be kept aligned with the real world, ensuring the robot's perceived map is close enough to the true environment to allow proper navigation.
