Abstract

Appearance-based approaches have become a feasible technique applied to robot navigation. They are based on the direct comparison of images without any feature extraction. This approach presents several advantages comparing to model-based methods, such as their application to non-structured environments and the relative simplicity of the control they offer. This work presents the continuous navigation of a mobile robot, using an appearance-based method. The objective is the following of pre-recorded routes, using just visual information acquired with a couple of parallel cameras. In this approach, low-resolution frontal images along the route to follow are stored. This is done in an automated way, what allows optimizing the database size. Several control schemas have been tested to improve the accuracy in the navigation, such as P, PD and PD with variable parameters, whose experimental results are presented.
