As the foundation of intelligent systems, machine vision perceives the surrounding
environment and provides a basis for decision-making. Object detection is the core task in …

When it comes to some essential abilities of autonomous ground vehicles (AGV), detection
is one of them. In order to safely navigate through any known or unknown environment, AGV …

The ability to safely navigate is a crucial prerequisite for truly autonomous systems. A robot
has to distinguish obstacles from traversable ground. Failing on this task can cause great …

This letter presents an autonomous navigation system for ground robots traversing
aggressive unstructured terrain through a cohesive arrangement of mapping, deliberative …

This paper delivers an exhaustive analysis of the fusion of multi-sensor technologies,
including traditional sensors such as cameras, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), Radio …

Negative obstacles for field autonomous land vehicles (ALVs) refer to ditches, pits, or terrain
with a negative slope, which will bring risks to vehicles in travel. This paper presents a …

In mobile robotics, navigation is considered as one of the most primary tasks, which
becomes more challenging during local navigation when the environment is unknown …

Current research in experimental robotics has had a focus on traditional, cost-based,
navigation methods. These methods ascribe a value of utility for occupying certain locations …

The authors developed a hexapod tracked mobile robot: a tracked mobile robot which is
equipped with six legs attached to the robot's body. In a transportation task, this robot can …

The paper describes the case study of the mobile robot Andabata navigating on natural
terrain at low speeds with fuzzy elevation maps (FEMs). To this end, leveled three …
