✦ Synopsis

Robust self-localization and repositioning strategies are essential capabilities for robots operating in highly dynamic environments. Environments are considered highly dynamic, if objects of interest move continuously and quickly, and if chances of hitting or getting hit by other robots are quite significant. An outstanding example for such an environment is provided by RoboCup.

Vision system designs for robots used in RoboCup are based on several approaches, aimed at fitting both the mechanical characteristics of the players and the strategies and operations that the different roles or playing situations may require. This paper reviews three approaches to vision-based self-localization used in the RoboCup middle-size league competition and describes the results they achieve in the robot soccer environment for which they have been designed.

In this paper, we introduce a new fuzzy logic-based approach for dynamic localization of mobile robots equipped with a ring of sonar sensors. In this approach, the angular uncertainty and radial imprecision of sonar data are modeled by possibility distributions. From sonar data, a local fuzzy compos

This paper outlines a philosophical and psycho-physiological basis for embodied perception, and develops a framework for conceptual embodiment of vision-guided robots. We argue that categorisation is important in all stages of robot vision. Further, that classical computer vision is unsuitable for t

This paper presents an approach for tracking multiple persons on a mobile robot with a combination of colour and thermal vision sensors, using several new techniques. First, an adaptive colour model is incorporated into the measurement model of the tracker. Second, a new approach for detecting occlu
