Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mobile robotics is an active and exciting sub-field of Computer Science. Its importance is easily witnessed in a variety of undertakings from DARPA's Grand Challenge to NASA's Mars exploration program. The field is relatively young, and still many challenges face roboticists across the boards. One important area of research is localization, which concerns itself with granting a robot the ability to discover and continually update an internal representation of its position. Vision based sensor systems have been investigated, but to much lesser extent than other popular techniques. A custom mobile platform has been constructed on top of which a monocular vision based localization system has been implemented. The rigorous gathering of empirical data across a large group of parameters germane to the problem has led to various findings about monocular vision based localization and the fitness of the custom robot platform. The localization component is based on a probabilistic technique called Monte-Carlo Localization (MCL) that tolerates a variety of different sensors and effectors, and has further proven to be adept at localization in diverse circumstances. Both a motion model and sensor model that drive the particle filter at the algorithm's core have been carefully derived. The sensor model employs a simple correlation process that leverages color histograms and edge detection to filter robot pose estimations via the on board vision. This algorithm relies on image matching to tune position estimates based on a priori knowledge of its environment in the form of a feature library. It is believed that leveraging different computationally inexpensive features can lead to efficient and robust localization with MCL. The central goal of this thesis is to implement and arrive at such a conclusion through the gathering of empirical data. Section 1 presents a brief introduction to mobile robot localization and robot architectures, while section 2 covers MCL itself in more depth. Section 3 elaborates on the localization strategy, modeling and implementation that forms the basis of the trials that are presented toward the end of that section. Section 4 presents a revised implementation that attempts to address shortcomings identified during localization trials. Finally in section 5, conclusions are drawn about the effectiveness of the localization implementation and a path to improved localization with monocular vision is posited"--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As CMOS scaling is approaching the fundamental physical limits, a wide range of new nanoelectronic materials and devices have been proposed and explored to extend and/or replace the current electronic devices and circuits so as to maintain progress with respect to speed and integration density. The major limitations, including low carrier mobility, degraded subthreshold slope, and heat dissipation, have become more challenging to address as the size of silicon-based metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) has decreased to nanometers, while device integration density has increased. This book aims to present technical approaches that address the need for new nanoelectronic materials and devices. The focus is on new concepts and knowledge in nanoscience and nanotechnology for applications in logic, memory, sensors, photonics, and renewable energy. This research on nanoelectronic materials and devices will be instructive in finding solutions to address the challenges of current electronics in switching speed, power consumption, and heat dissipation and will be of great interest to academic society and the industry.

This book was released on 2012-01-22 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of vision in mobile robotics in one of the main goal of this thesis. In particular novel appearance based approaches for image matching metric are introduced. These approaches are applied to the problem of mobile robot localization.Similarity measures between robot's views are used in probabilistic methods for robot pose estimation. In this field of probabilistic localization active approach are proposed allowing the robot to faster and better localize. All methods have been extensively tested using a real robot in an indoor environment.Note: the book is the publication of the PhD thesis discussed in Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy in 2006 by Emanuele Frontoni

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A performance analysis of several vision-based robot localization systems is presented for real-time Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) navigation tasks in touch-free, GPS denied, and high-accuracy environments. The systems were designed and utilized during our quadrotor visual control research, consisting of a local positioning system (LPS), a simplified monocular visual odometry (VO), and a stereo visual odometry ranging system. Measurement performance is evaluated through experiments performed using a membrane potentiometer sensor as reference. Feature-based image processing algorithms and motion detection methods are implemented to generate 3D position information from 2D image data. Performance analysis gave verified data for the applications of those systems. Final measurement resolution of 1mm was obtained for the LPS, and a high positioning accuracy was demonstrated for the VO systems.
