A mobile robot simulator was developed in a computer graphics environment as a didactic tool able to assist the teaching and learning in disciplines that involve mobile robotics. It is also useful in validating control ...

A first generation of mobile robots able to cope with the high uncertainty of natural environments is starting to emerge. As a consequence, there is an increasing need for theoretical and practical courses that can formally ...

This paper presents the implementation of a mobile service robot with a manipulator and a navigation stack to interact and move through an environment providing a delivery type service. The implementation uses a LiDAR ...

A nonlinear supervised globally stable controller is proposed to reactively guide a mobile robot to avoid obstacles while seeking a goal. Whenever the robot detects an object nearby, its orientation is changed to be aligned ...

In this paper we present a vision-based navigation system for mobile robots equipped with a single, off-the-shelf camera in mixed indoor/outdoor environments. A hybrid approach is proposed, based on the teach-and-replay ...
