Environment Representation for Autonomous Vehicles
|
Objective
At the TNO Physics and Electronics Laboratory the "RoboJeep" robotic vehicle is being developed. This vehicle must be able to navigate and perform useful observations autonomously in an unstructured environment. Different sensors such as; stereovision camera's, ultra-sonic sensors, odometers and a laser range scanner are applied for this goal. The objective of this research is to develop techniques for acquiring reliable representations of the environment from these sensors.

Research Achievements
A stereovision method for autonomous vehicle navigation has been developed. From a pair of stereo images an obstacle free path to a goal location can be computed. Both positive and negative (abysses) obstacles are detected.
