Visual Navigation for Mobile Robots

Abstract: Looking at the number of living creatures using vision as their main sensor one should expect that vision also would be the first choice for mobile robots considering nice features as low price, low power, non contact and high potential information contents. Unfortunately it has proven much more difficult to extract the information from vision than expected and still no commercial robot relies on vision as its main sensor. In spite of this several successful methods have been developed. This chapter presents a number of visual methods that has been experimentally verified: artificial visual landmarks, corridor following using vanishing point, and road following using terrain classification based on data fusion of laser scanner and vision.
