Navigation and Localization

A mobile robot should be able to move and act autonomously in a changing environment while carrying out various tasks. Existing systems are usually robots that were specially developed for a specific task. Our research's aim is to develop, evaluate, optimise and generalise methods, thus enabling the use of mobile robot systems with the same methods in various different scenarios. Special emphasis is laid on improving the precision of localization methods for dynamic environments as well as the improvement of the control and positioning capabilities of robot systems. Another point of interest is the analysis of automatic mapping. This work constitutes the basis for carrying out new service tasks that could not be realised before. For the evaluation process we have different sensors like laser measurement systems, stereo and omnidirectional vision systems at our disposal.
