Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the exciting field of mobile robotics and demonstrates a cutting-edge method for obstacle avoidance using real-time image processing and ow-based information. By mounting two cameras on a mobile robot with different elds of view (one narrow, one wide), the system can estimate time-to-contact and divergence of image ow. This information is then used by a behavioral controller to steer the robot down a "virtual corridor" while avoiding obstacles. The authors describe the integration of visual motion processing, retinal 2D representations, and behavior control, and the experiments conducted within o ce environments. The system represents a signi cant contribution to mobile robotics by combining ow-based information, foveal/peripheral processing, and behavior control into a novel system capable of robustly avoiding obstacles while wandering.
