RAMBLER Robot tests the feasibility of autonomously localizing without typical sensors like wheel odometers or GPS. The primary objective is to independently, accurately, and robustly recover the path of a moving robotic system with only the lowest-cost sensors available off-the-shelf. Methods new and old are reviewed and tested on the real RAMBLER Robot hardware. The hardware and software necessary to use omni-directional camera measurements to decrease uncertainty regarding the position and heading of a small robot system are presented in detail. The RAMBLER Robot is shown to successfully localize within a small arena using three passive indistinguishable landmarks. 2014-02-21 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1386695142 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1386695142 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
