Path Planning And Collision Avoidance For An Indoor Security Robot

Abstract: Any mobile robot which must operate in a dynamically changing indoor environment, such as an office, laboratory, or warehouse, must be able to detect and successfully avoid unexpected obstacles. Transient objects such as chairs, doors, trash cans, etc. change position or state frequently, and thus cannot be assigned a static representation in an "absolute" X -Y planview map of the workspace. The most simplistic path planning scheme therefore assumes there are no transient objects in this global model for the i… Show more

“…Hence, position estimation is only possible with a correlation-based technique, which is time-consuming and subject to the cell resolution of the grid. Gilbreath notes that one motivation for using a grid-type representation is that "it is hard to accurately glean polygonal information from inexpensive sensors mounted on a mobile robot" [57]. The results presented above provide strong evidence to the contrary.…”

“…Beckerman and Oblow [9], Gilbreath and Everett [57], Noborio et al [109] and Zelinsky [136] have used a grid representation to build sonar maps. Beckerman and Oblow have presented a map building algorithm that uses a consistent labeling scheme to resolve conflicts in a 6 inch cell resolution grid [9].…”

“…However, the problems associated with ultrasound (large beamwidth and specular reflections) mean that it is almost impossible to extract line segments directly (Crowley 1985(Crowley , 1989) to match external plans or maps. The brittleness of line segment-based feature extraction was a motivating force behind the grid representation for sonar maps (Beckerman and Oblow 1990;Elfes 1987;Gilbreath and Everett 1988;Noborio, Kondo, and Noda 1990;Zelinsky 1988). Grid-type representations are useful for obstacle avoidance (Borenstein and Koren 1990) but cannot be correlated easily with most external representations.…”

“…A measure for judging map accuracy was proposed by Raschke and Borenstein (1990), where improved mapping results were reported with this method. Gilbreath and Everett (1988), Zelinsky (1988), Beckerman, and Oblow (1990) have all used variations of the gridbased approach to construct sonar maps for path planning. The use of grids has been extended to 3-D sonar-range sensing for under water by Auran and Silven (1996).…”
