Vision-Based Dynamic Velocity Field Generation for Mobile Robots

  • Conference paper
Robot Motion and Control 2007

Abstract

A control strategy much studied in the last years is the velocity field control (VFC). In 1995, velocity fields are defined as a set of velocity vectors located at each possible position of the robot platform inside its workspace coding a specified task [1]. The employment of a control scheme whose reference is a velocity field has allowed to encourage different control problems rather than the conventional timed trajectory tracking, such as contour following, position control, etc.

The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Research and Development and Graduate Studies Deanships of Simon Bolivar University to the development of this project.
