Wheeled autonomous mobile robots for use in harsh environments: a survey of recent publicationsLarkin, Susan M. 31 January 2009 (has links)
Research in the area of autonomous mobile robots has increased over the last several years. Autonomous mobile robots are now being used in a wide variety of applications, including nuclear plant maintenance, interplanetary exploration, military missions and smart highway systems. This thesis is a survey of recent publications, 1990-1996, of wheeled autonomous mobile robots for harsh environments. Various sensing, navigation, and motion control strategies commonly used on autonomous mobile robots are compared. The integration of all three systems in a system architecture is also presented. Following a general discussion of autonomous mobile robot technology, vehicles that have entered the Unmanned Ground Robotics Competition are presented as a focused study of the application of this broad field of research. / Master of Science
