Micro air vehicles and other high-tech toys
Doty, Keith L.This talk will cover three topics, 1) Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs), 2) A low-cost, realtime color vision system on board a TJ Pro autonomous mobile robot, and 3) A hightech insect-like toy called Battlebug that combines Radio-Control (RC) with autonomous behavior. These three topics possess the loose, underlying themes of vision and interlacing of semi-autonomous behaviors with manual remote-control. The primary, ...
Local array mapping in an autonomous robot
Gonçalves, José; Ribeiro, Jorge; Kulzer, Pedro; Doty, Keith L.; Vaz, FranciscoThis project implements an autonomous mobile robot platform that performs a series of simple reactive behaviors and adapts to local environmental conditions. Since oscillatory motion under cornered conditions appears to be an inherent characteristic of purely reactive obstacle avoidance mechanisms in autonomous robots, a robot agent will require memory to enhance overall obstacle avoidance efficiency. In this s...
