Testing omnidirectional vision-based Monte-Carlo Localization under occlusion
No full textOne of the most challenging issues in mobile robot navigation is the localization problem in densely populated environments. In this paper, we present a new approach for vision-based localization able to solve this problem. The omnidirectional camera is used as a range finder sensitive to the distance of color transitions, whereas classical range finder;, like lasers or sonars, are sensitive to the distance of the nearest obstacles. The well-known Monte-Carlo localization technique was adapted for this new type of range sensor. The system runs in real time on a low-cost pc. In this paper we present experiments, performed in a crowded RoboCup middle-size field, proving the robustness of the approach to the occlusions of the vision sensor by moving obstacles (e.g other robots); occlusions that are very likely to occur in a real environment. Although, the system was implemented for the RoboCup environment, the system can be used in more general environments

Competitions and Industrial Tasks as a Way to Learn Basic Concepts in Robotics
No full textThis paper presents a graduate course project based on a challenging industrial task as a way to learn basic concepts in robotics. The students had to face a simplified version of a task proposed as part of an European Competition. The general aim is to identify an object and place a manipulator in a certain target position with respect to it. Students have to use information provided by a stereo camera in order to guarantee a good pose estimation. The object is not placed in a fixed and predefined spot, but the pose can vary in a range within a maximum of 5 cm in position and 3 degrees in rotation on each direction. The learning objectives of both course and project are introduced and compared with the students' background. We discuss the solutions proposed by the students, together with the amount of time they and their instructors dedicated to solve the task. Answers to a survey have been collected and discussed in order to better evaluate the students' experience
