This thesis deals with sensor based motion planning of a mobile robot for localization in an unknown environment. Using the developed algorithm the robot may construct the map (GVG) of any bounded environment, and the minimum distance between any two locations in the mapped environment can be determined. In addition, the accuracy of the robot, facing dead-reckoning error can be improved. With this study, the mobile robot finds the optimum path between any two locations in any bounded environment and traces this path with the highest accuracy.

Development of a visual object localization module for mobile robots
Şahin, Erol (1999-01-01)
Reports preliminary results from the design and implementation of a visual object localization module for mobile robots. The module takes an object-based approach to visual processing and relies on a preprocessing step that segments objects from the image. By tracking the size and the eccentricity of the objects in the image while the robot is moving, the visual object localization module can determine the position of objects relative to the robot using the displacement obtained from its odometry. In locali...
DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXTENSIBLE HETEROGENEOUS SWARM ROBOT PLATFORM
Bilaloğlu, Cem; Turgut, Ali Emre; Şahin, Erol; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-1-13)
This thesis introduces Kobot -- an extensible heterogeneous swarm robot platform. Kobot platform uses a common hardware and software architecture based on off-the-shelf components, 3-D printing, and open-source software that evolves with state of the art. Robots built using this common architecture range from wheeled to flying robots and formed a heterogeneous swarm. The common architecture enabled developing and testing systems for the lightweight flying robots on resourceful ground robots. As a result, Ko...
A novel soft-computing technique to segment satellite images for mobile robot localization and navigation
DOĞRUER, CAN ULAŞ; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Dölen, Melik (2007-11-02)
Localization of mobile robots has been studied rigorously in the last decade. A number of successful approaches such as Extended Kalman Filter, Markov Localization, and Monte Carlo Localization assume that the map of the environment is originally presented to the robot. However, an important information package like the map of the environment could not be taken for granted in most realworld problems. In this study, a novel technique composed of a combination of Fuzzy C-Means and Fuzzy Neural Network methods...
Control of a differentially driven mobile robot using radial basis function based neural networks
Bayar, Gökhan; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Buǧra Koku, A. (2008-12-01)
This paper proposes the use of radial basis function neural networks approach to the solution of a mobile robot orientation adjustment using reinforcement learning. In order to control the orientation of the mobile robot, a neural network control system has been constructed and implemented. Neural controller has been charged to enhance the control system by adding some degrees of award. Making use of the potential of neural networks to learn the relationships, the desired reference orientation and the error...
Global urban localization of an outdoor mobile robot with genetic algorithms
DOĞRUER, CAN ULAŞ; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Dölen, Melik (2008-02-26)
The localization of mobile robots has been studied rigorously in the past. However, only a few studies have focused on developing specific Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to address the localization problem effectively. In this study; the global urban localization of an outdoor mobile platform is considered with the utilization of the odometer, the laser-rangeq finder measurements and the digital maps created from the relevant satellite images on the Internet. The localization issue is formulated as a constrained ...
