This paper presents an implementation of autonomous navigation functionality based on Robot Operating System (ROS) on a wheeled differential drive mobile platform called Eddie robot. ROS is a framework that contains many reusable software stacks as well as visualization and debugging tools that provides an ideal environment for any robotic project development. The main contribution of this paper is the description of the customized hardware and software system setup of Eddie robot to work with an autonomous navigation system in ROS called Navigation Stack and to implement one application use case for autonomous navigation. For this paper, photo taking is chosen to demonstrate a use case of the mobile robot.

In this case study, we design, integrate and implement a cloud-enabled autonomous robotic navigation system. The system has the following features: map generation and robot coordination via cloud service and video streaming to allow online monitoring
and control in case of emergency. The system has been tested to generate a map for a long corridor using two modes: manual and autonomous. The autonomous mode has shown more accurate map. In addition, the field experiments confirm the benefit of offloading the heavy computation to the cloud by significantly shortening the time required to build the map.
Despite the stringent requirements of a real-time system, the reliance of the Robot Operating System (ROS) on the loopback network interface imposes a considerable overhead on the transport of high bandwidth data, while the nodelet package, which is
an efficient mechanism for intra-process communication, does not address the problem of efficient local inter-process communication (IPC). To remedy this, we propose a novel integration into ROS of smart pointers and synchronisation primitives stored in shared memory. These obey the same semantics and, more importantly, exhibit the same performance as their C++ standard library counterparts, making them preferable to other local IPC mechanisms. We present a series of benchmarks for our mechanism - which we call LOT (Low Overhead Transport) - and use them to assess its performance on realistic data loads based on Fives Autonomous Vehicle (AV) system, and extend our analysis to the case where multiple ROS nodes are running in Docker containers. We find that our mechanism performs up to two orders of magnitude better than the standard IPC via local loopback. Finally, we apply industry-standard profiling techniques to explore the hotspots of code running in both user and kernel space, comparing our implementation against alternatives.
In autonomous navigation of mobile robots, sensors suffer from massive occlusion in cluttered environments, leaving significant amount of space unknown during planning. In practice, treating the unknown space in optimistic or pessimistic ways both se
t limitations on planning performance, thus aggressiveness and safety cannot be satisfied at the same time. However, humans can infer the exact shape of the obstacles from only partial observation and generate non-conservative trajectories that avoid possible collisions in occluded space. Mimicking human behavior, in this paper, we propose a method based on deep neural network to predict occupancy distribution of unknown space reliably. Specifically, the proposed method utilizes contextual information of environments and learns from prior knowledge to predict obstacle distributions in occluded space. We use unlabeled and no-ground-truth data to train our network and successfully apply it to real-time navigation in unseen environments without any refinement. Results show that our method leverages the performance of a kinodynamic planner by improving security with no reduction of speed in clustered environments.
Mobile robot navigation is typically regarded as a geometric problem, in which the robots objective is to perceive the geometry of the environment in order to plan collision-free paths towards a desired goal. However, a purely geometric view of the w
orld can can be insufficient for many navigation problems. For example, a robot navigating based on geometry may avoid a field of tall grass because it believes it is untraversable, and will therefore fail to reach its desired goal. In this work, we investigate how to move beyond these purely geometric-based approaches using a method that learns about physical navigational affordances from experience. Our approach, which we call BADGR, is an end-to-end learning-based mobile robot navigation system that can be trained with self-supervised off-policy data gathered in real-world environments, without any simulation or human supervision. BADGR can navigate in real-world urban and off-road environments with geometrically distracting obstacles. It can also incorporate terrain preferences, generalize to novel environments, and continue to improve autonomously by gathering more data.

In this paper, we present an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) landing system based on visual navigation. We design the landmark as a topological pattern in order to enable the UAV to distinguish the landmark from the environment easily. In ad
dition, a dynamic thresholding method is developed for image binarization to improve detection efficiency. The relative distance in the horizontal plane is calculated according to effective image information, and the relative height is obtained using a linear interpolation method. The landing experiments are performed on a static and a moving platform, respectively. The experimental results illustrate that our proposed landing system performs robustly and accurately.
