Abstract:
Thesis (MSc (Mathematical Sciences. Computer SCience))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>In this thesis we consider the dynamic path planning problem for robotics. The dynamic path planning problem, in short, is the task of determining an optimal path, in terms of minimising a given cost function, from one location to another within a known environment of moving obstacles. Our goal is to investigate a number of well-known path planning algorithms, to determine for which circumstances a particular algorithm is best suited, and to propose changes to existing algorithms to make them per

Abstract:
Autonomous mobile robots - both aerial and terrestrial vehicles - have gained immense importance due to the broad spectrum of their potential military and civilian applications. One of the indispensable requirements for the autonomy of a mobile vehicle is the vehicle's capability of planning and executing its motion, that is, finding appropriate control inputs for the vehicle such that the resulting vehicle motion satisfies the requirements of the vehicular task. The motion planning and control problem is inherently complex because it involves two disparate sub-problems: (1) satisfaction of th

Exploration is of interest for autonomous mapping and rescue applications using unmanned vehicles. The objective is to, without any prior information, explore all initially unmapped space. We present a system that can perform fast and efficient exploration of large scale arbitrary 3D environments. We combine frontier exploration planning (FEP) as a global planning strategy, together with receding horizon planning (RH-NBVP) for local planning. This leads to plans that incorporate information gain along the way, but do not get stuck in already explored regions. Furthermore, we make the potential

Abstract:
The most common applications of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) include imaging and inspecting different kinds of structures on the sea. Most of these applications require a priori information of the area or structure to be inspected, either to navigate at a safe and conservative altitude or to 2/2 pre-calculate a survey path. However, there are other applications where it's unlikely that such information is available (e.g., exploring confined natural environments like underwater caves).

First, we propose a coverage path planning method to plan 2D, safe-altitude surveys which provides a principled way to account for obstacles in AUV survey planning. Its main advantage is that it minimizes redundant coverage when the vehicle navigates at constant depth, leading to shorter paths. Second, we provide a method to account for the uncertainty in the vehicle position estimates when planning 2D surveys. The method

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 2000.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 163-164).<br>The desire for highly capable unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs), has necessitated the need for more research into the problems faced by these vehicles. One classic problem faced by UAVs concerns how the vehicle should traverse its environment in order to leave the current position and arrive at a desired location. The path to this goal location must maneuver the vehicle around any obstacles and reach the goal with minimal cost. A variant of this prob

Abstract:
Safe and simultaneous arrival of constant speed, constant altitude UAVs on target is solved by design of paths of equal lengths. The starting point of the solution is the well-known Dubins path which is composed of circular arcs and line segments, thus requiring only one simple manoeuvre - constant rate turn. An explicit bound can be imposed on the rate during the design and the resulting paths are the minimum time solution of the problem. However, transition between arc and line segment entails discontinuous changes in lateral accelerations (latax), making this approach impractical for real f

Abstract:
Mobile robots gained lots of attention in the last decades. Because of its flexibility and increased capabilities of automation, mobile robots are used in many applications: from domotic, to search and rescue missions, to agriculture, environment protection and many more. The main capability of mobile robots to accomplish a mission is the mobility in the work environment. To move in a certain environment the robots should achieve: guidance, navigation and control. This thesis focuses on guidance and control of mobile robots, with application to certain classes of robots: Vertical Take Off an
