Conference Proceeding: On generating continuous-curvature paths for line following problem with curvature and sharpness constraints
V. Girbes, L. Armesto, J. Tornero[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The main contribution of the paper is to provide a method to generate continuous curvature paths in order to converge to a line, based on combinations of clothoids with line segments and circular arcs. Different kinds of continuous curvature paths have been defined in order to solve problems with different complexity. The type of paths that we have generated get the benefits of higher comfort and safety. Generated paths take into account lower and upper bounds of sharpness and curvature simultaneously, while it is not the case of other continuous curvature paths such as Elementary and BiElementary paths. Wheeled mobile robots following a path with continuous curvature may also get benefit on wheels slippage reduction and low odometry errors, since transitions are softer with constant curvature rates.Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2011 IEEE International Conference on; 06/2011 -

Conference Proceeding: PISALA project. Intelligent Sensorization for Line tracking with Artificial Vision
Vicent Girbes, Leopoldo Armesto, Josep Tornero[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents an artificial vision embedded solution for detecting painted lines on the floor, in the context of the Research Project PISALA (Industrial Prototype for Automatic Line Tracking with Artificial Vision), whose main objective is to provide vision-based solutions for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). In addition the paper proposes a procedure for evaluating robustness and accuracy of line-detection algorithms including qualitative and quantitative tests for detecting specific situations such as images with multiple lines or lines with spurious objects, lines with different colors, etc. The paper also considers the algorithm¿s sensibility with respect to extrinsic camera calibration errors, in order to define the bounds of the detection area. As a result, low cost robust algorithms for line detection can be evaluated. The examples for validation have been implemented on the embedded vision system CMUCAM3.Robotics (ISR), 2010 41st International Symposium on and 2010 6th German Conference on Robotics (ROBOTIK); 07/2010
