Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are a common choice made by many companies for
material handling (MH) in manufacturing systems. AGV-based internal transport of raw …

One long‐standing challenge in robotics is the realization of mobile autonomous robots able
to operate safely in human workplaces, and be accepted by the human occupants. We …

A combined double-sensor architecture, laser and camera, and a new algorithm named
RLPF are presented as a solution to the problem of identifying and localizing a pallet, the …

In this paper, a novel bio-inspired learning control approach (BILCA) for mobile robots
based on Learning from Demonstration (LfD), Firefly Algorithm (FA), and homography …

In this paper, we propose a new wireless hybrid control algorithm for visual servoing of
mobile robots. In particular, the hybrid system is developed using the two autonomous …

A pallet detection system is presented which is designed for automated forklifts for logistics
operations. The system performs stereo reconstruction and pallets are detected using a …

Visual localization systems that are practical for autonomous vehicles in outdoor industrial
applications must perform reliably in a wide range of conditions. Changing outdoor …

The autonomous navigation of unmanned vehicles in GPS denied environments is an
incredibly challenging task. Because cameras are low in price, obtain rich information, and …

Vehicle localization is one of the most common tasks in robotics. Using vision as a sensor,
most methods perform localization from cameras mounted on board the vehicle. In contrast …

We present newly added modules for our autonomous load handling system. The stereo
camera system provides information about the scene in front of the automated forklift. A new …
