A Comprehensive Review on Automatic Mobile Robots: Applications, Perception, Communication and Control

Abstract

In recent years, automatic mobile robots (AMR) have been widely concerned in various fields, such as material handling, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cruise, automatic factories and so on. Compared with traditional robots, an AMR bring system poses several challenges such as adaptation to the environment, stable communication and robust control. For example, when in a complex environment, it can observe the surrounding environment in real time to avoid obstacles, and track the target in real time to change its trajectory until the task is completed, which improves the flexibility and mobility of the robot. More importantly, AMR systems require supports from various technologies including real-time positioning and navigation, trajectory planning, target tracking, multi-agent systems, robot monitoring and so on. In the near future, its geometric adaptability, design characteristics, mobility, flexibility, obstacle avoidance and fault-tolerant control will be further improved. This article gives a comprehensive elaboration on the four aspects of AMR systems, namely, AMR applications, perception technologies, robot communications, and control mechanisms. Future research directions are also pointed out.

Tourist Attraction Recommendation Method and Data Management Based on Big Data Analysis

“…e use of this brand image may help tourist locations promote local tourism growth by displaying clients the local distinctive tourist resources and services in the most straightforward manner feasible. It is becoming increasingly difficult to address the informational demands of self-help visitors due to the fragmentation of local tourism information, the absence of data integration and exchange, the scarcity of correct services, and the dispersion of information access channels in place [19]. DSR approach will be used in this project to construct and test a new analytics tool for unstructured big data, but with information relevant to the tourist industry.…”

Trajectory Tracking of Swing-Arm Type Omnidirectional Mobile Robot

“…Since the 21st century, more and more attention has been paid to the development of robotics at the national and world level [1]. As an important branch in the eld of robotics, mobile robots can replace humans in complex environments for exploration and operation.…”
