In the framework of autonomous navigation, an application of Kalman filtering to the problem of multi-sensor information processing is presented. In particular, estimation of model parameters is considered when a mobile robot equipped with a set of sonars and a standard TV camera moves along corridors, and the environment is affected by sharp discontinuities due to the presence of recesses or protrusions. Experiments performed in realworld situations are also presented and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
