Abstract [en]

Human-robot interaction and robot-robot interaction and cooperation in shared spatial areas is a challenging field of research regarding safety, stability and performance. In this paper the collision avoidance between human and robot by extrapolation of human intentions and a suitable optimization of tracking velocities is discussed. Furthermore for robot-robot interactions in a shared area traffic rules and artificial force potential fields and their optimization by market-based approach are applied for obstacle avoidance. For testing and verification, the navigation strategy is implemented and tested in simulation of more realistic vehicles. Extensive simulation experiments are performed to examine the improvement of the traditional potential field (PF) method by the MBO strategy.

Abstract [en]

In this article, we address the problem of realizing a complete efficient system for automated management of fleets of autonomous ground vehicles in industrial sites. We elicit from current industrial practice and the scientific state of the art the key challenges related to autonomous transport vehicles in industrial environments and relate them to enabling techniques in perception, task allocation, motion planning, coordination, collision prediction, and control. We propose a modular approach based on least commitment, which integrates all modules through a uniform constraint-based paradigm. We describe an instantiation of this system and present a summary of the results, showing evidence of increased flexibility at the control level to adapt to contingencies.

Abstract [en]

In this article, we describe an approach to address the issue of automatically building and using high-level symbolic representations that capture physical interactions between objects in static configurations. Our work targets robotic manipulation systems where objects need to be safely removed from piles that come in random configurations. We assume that a 3D visual perception module exists so that objects in the piles can be completely or partially detected. Depending on the outcome of the perception, we divide the issue into two sub-issues: 1) all objects in the configuration are detected; 2) only a subset of objects are correctly detected. For the first case, we use notions from geometry and static equilibrium in classical mechanics to automatically analyze and extract act and support relations between pairs of objects. For the second case, we use machine learning techniques to estimate the probability of objects supporting each other. Having the support relations extracted, a decision making process is used to identify which object to remove from the configuration so that an expected minimum cost is optimized. The proposed methods have been extensively tested and validated on data sets generated in simulation and from real world configurations for the scenario of unloading goods from shipping containers.

Abstract [en]

The main focus of this paper is to present a case study of a SLAM solution for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) operating in real-world industrial environments. The studied solution, called Gold-fish SLAM, was implemented to provide localization estimates in dynamic industrial environments, where there are static landmarks that are only rarely perceived by the AGVs. The main idea of Gold-fish SLAM is to consider the goods that enter and leave the environment as temporary landmarks that can be used in combination with the rarely seen static landmarks to compute online estimates of AGV poses. The solution is tested and verified in a factory of paper using an eight ton diesel-truck retrofitted with an AGV control system running at speeds up to 3 m/s. The paper includes also a general discussion on how SLAM can be used in industrial applications with AGVs

Abstract [en]

In this paper, we propose an approach for robotic manipulation systems to autonomously reason about their environments under incomplete information. The target application is to automate the task of unloading the content of shipping containers. Our goal is to capture possible support relations between objects in partially known static configurations. We employ support vector machines (SVM) to estimate the probability of a support relation between pairs of detected objects using features extracted from their geometrical properties and 3D sampled points of the scene. The set of probabilistic support relations is then used for reasoning about optimally selecting an object to be unloaded first. The proposed approach has been extensively tested and verified on data sets generated in simulation and from real world configurations.

Abstract [en]

A comparison of particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and market-based optimisation (MBO) is presented when applied to obstacle avoidance by mobile robots using artificial potential fields and special traffic rules. Most notably, PSO and MBO are applied to optimise the motion of mobile robots when acting in a common confined workspace. Simulation results show that both methods perform equally well with slight advantage for PSO.

Abstract [en]

This paper addresses the safe navigation of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots in shared areas. Obstacle avoidance for mobile robots is performed by artificial potential fields and special traffic rules. In addition, the behavior of mobile robots is optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO). The control of non-holonomic vehicles is performed using the virtual leader principle together with a local linear controller.

Abstract [en]

An important aspect of the navigation of mobile robots is the avoidance of static and dynamic obstacles. This paper deals with obstacle avoidance using artificial potential fields and selected traffic rules. The potential field method is optimized by a mixture of fuzzy methods and market-based optimization (MBO) between competing potential fields of mobile robots. Here, depending on the local situation, some potential fields are strengthened and some are weakened. The optimization takes place especially when several mobile robots act in a small area. In addition, to avoid an undesired behavior of the mobile platform in the vicinity of obstacles, central symmetrical potential fields are `deformed' by using fuzzy rules.
