  1. 1. Autonomous Navigation: LIDAR-based SLAM, Terrain of Technology Explored

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Oscar Sanner; [2023]
    Keywords : MSc; SLAM; Pathing; ICP; FastSLAM; LIDAR; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an autonomous system capable of navigating and mapping unknown environments is developed. The solution uses a family of algorithms called SLAM or simultaneous localization and mapping, capable of mapping the environment and retaining accurate position data without external sensors such as GPS.

  3. 2. Skyline Delineation for Localization in Occluded Environments : Improved Skyline Delineation using Environmental Context from Deep Learning-based Semantic Segmentation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Kyle William Coble; [2023]
    Keywords : Skyline delineation; Skyline detection; Semantic segmentation; Terrain based navigation; Digital elevation models; Uncrewed surface vessel; Planetary exploration robots; Horisont avgränsning; Horisont upptäckt; Semantisk segmentering; Terrängbaserad navigering; Digitala höjdmodeller; Obemannat ytfartyg; Planetariska utforskningsrobotar;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the problem of improving the delineation of skylines, also referred to as skyline detection, in occluded and challenging environments where existing skyline delineation methods may struggle or fail. Delineated skylines can be used in monocular camera localization methods by comparing delineated skylines to digital elevation model data to estimate a position based on known terrain. READ MORE

  4. 3. Terrain Referenced Navigation with Path Optimization : Optimizing Navigation Accuracy by Path Planning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Martin Gelin; [2022]
    Keywords : Terrain Referenced Navigation; Localization; Particle Filter; Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter; Kalman Filter; Path Planning; Terrängbaserad navigering; Lokalisering; Partikelfilter; Rao-Blackwelliserat partikelfilter; Kalmanfilter; Banplanering;

    Abstract : Terrain referenced navigation is a method of navigation that uses measurements of altitude above ground to infer the position of the vehicle, mainly aerial or underwater. This method provides an alternative to the commonly used satellite-based navigation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Creating a self-driving terrain vehicle in a simulated environment

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Jonas Markgren; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Outside of the city environment, there are many unstructured and rough environments that are challenging in vehicle navigation tasks. In these environments, vehicle vibrations caused by rough terrain can be harmful for humans. In addition, a human operator can not work around the clock. READ MORE

  6. 5. ODAR : Obstacle Detecting Autonomous Robot

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : EMILIA HALTORP; JOHANNA BREDHE; [2020]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Autonomous Robot; Ultrasonic Sensors; Servo Motors; Arduino; Mekatronik; Autonom Robot; Ultraljudssensorer; Servomotorer; Arduino;

    Abstract : The industry for autonomous vehicles is growing. According to studies nine out of ten traffic accidents are due to the human factor, if the safety can get good enough in autonomous cars they have the potential to save thousands of lives every year. READ MORE
