The Laboratory of Advanced Perception has been developing research work on the field of autonomous robots in the last years. Recently, two on going projects need financial support for their continuity. Both are in the field of knowledge representation. The first concerns the creation of an environment model where a mobile robot must execute a task through the addition of some semantics to…
One of the fundamental problems of mobile robots nowadays is the simultaneous localization and mapping in an unknown environment from which no previous knowledge is available. Knows as the SLAM problem, it has been the target of extensive research in the scientific community, looking for a way to allow the implementation of systems with this capacity in a complex and dynamic environmen…
The SLAM ("Simultaneous Localization and Mapping") is an attempt to solve one of the most fundamental problem of autonomous navigation nowadays, offering a way to approach it. In essence, SLAM tries to create a precise map of the surrounding environment of a mobile robot, even when great distances are covered. To achieve that, the knowledge of the actual location of the system at every up…
The control of a mobile robot can be concepted by two distincts approaches: hierarchical or reactive. While hierarchic approach depends on the planning to effectuate the control, the reactive does direct sensor correspondence between sensors data and the action to be taken. By the implementation of different behaviors relating sensing of the robots with proper movements, there is a basic …
