Optical Rails: View-Based Track Following with Hemispherical Environment Model and Orientation View Descriptors

In this paper, a navigation system for autonomous mobile robots is proposed. Our navigation system is a hybrid of behaviour-based and model-based navigation systems. In our system, a behaviour-based subsystem is in charge of low-level reactive actions, ...

Robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In general, the robot navigation algorithms are classified as global or local, depending on surrounding environment. In global navigation, the environment surrounding the robot is known and the ...

Previous work has shown that honeybees use a snapshot model to determine a local vector to find their way home. A simpler, average landmark vector model has since been proposed for biologically-inspired mobile robot homing. Previously, the authors have ...
