Purpose – Stereo vision is an attractive perception technique for mobile robots navigation. Stereo matching is a …. However, if used for real‐time navigation, it still needs the assistance of specialized hardware or window selection technique … can be used for the navigation of planetary rover or other outdoor mobile robots. Originality/value – The paper provides a …

and analyse an algorithm that can be used as a part of an infrastructure‐free reactive navigation system for autonomous … navigation is to combine reactive behaviours for tunnel following, with topological localization. To assess the reliability and … autonomous navigation, functionality to detect and turn at intersections also needs to be developed. Practical implications …

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe research to enable a robust navigation of guide robots in erratic … discrimination method by using an adaptive sensor matching method. The other is a robot navigation technique with partial sensor … information. Findings – A successful navigation was implemented in erratic environments using partial sensor information …
