Mobile robot navigaiton is an important task for the operations of the mobile robots. Due to the wheel slippages, performance of the dead reckoning in estimating speed of the robot and the position of the robot is not sufficient. To overcome the errors in navigation estimates, usage of the recurrent deep neural networks is porposed. Neural networks are used to understand the behaviour of the linear and nonlinear systems. Since wheel-ground interaction will be modeled with non-linear models and the estimating parameters of those models are difficult, usage of the neural networks is preferable since they do not require system models and parameters. In this work, a recurrent deep neural network is proposed to estimate the speed and yaw angle of the 2 wheeled differentially driven mobile robot. By recording data from the training experiments of the navigation of the mobile robot, network is trained. After that, performance of the network is evaluated by plotting and tabulating outputs of the network, sensor data calculation and ground truth. Finally, results are compared with the results from the literature.

Human aware navigation of a mobile robot in crowded dynamic environments
Hacınecipoğlu, Akif; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
As mobile robots start operating in dynamic environments crowded with humans, human-aware and human-like navigation is required to make these robots navigate safely, efficiently and in socially compliant manner. People can navigate in an interactive and cooperative fashion so that, they are able to find their path to a destination even if there is no clear path leading to it. This is clearly a dexterity of humans. But the mobile robots which have to navigate in such environments lack this feature. Even perf...
Control and motion planning for mobile robots via a secure wireless communication protocol
Kaya, Muhammed Çağrı; Eroğlu, Alperen; Temizer, Selim (null; 2013-05-21)
Mobile robot control is receiving considerably more attention in current robotics research. Especially unmanned vehicles are used in important missions such as bomb disposal, patrolling borders of a country by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), etc. This usage increases the importance of unmanned vehicles and they become a target of malevolent people. In this study, a controllable robot system is designed with a secure communication protocol. A Pioneer P3-DX robot is used as a ground vehicle. The robot operat...
Vision-based robot localization using artificial and natural landmarks
Arıcan, Zafer; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
In mobile robot applications, it is an important issue for a robot to know where it is. Accurate localization becomes crucial for navigation and map building applications because both route to follow and positions of the objects to be inserted into the map highly depend on the position of the robot in the environment. For localization, the robot uses the measurements that it takes by various devices such as laser rangefinders, sonars, odometry devices and vision. Generally these devices give the distances o...
LOCALIZATION PERFORMANCE ESTIMATION WITH MULTI SENSOR FUSION
Bingöl, Ulaş Süreyya; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Hacınecipoğlu, Akif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-12)
Autonomous navigation gained significant attention as it is necessary for an over- growing use and integration of autonomous systems to numerous fields such as self- driving cars, logistics, and agricultural robots. These applications require robots to navigate from one location to another, which requires them to estimate their position accurately. Localization loss scenarios are instances when localization accuracy dete- riorates to a level that endangers the task. Reaching the false end goals, being stuck...
Reshaping human intentions by autonomous sociable robot moves through intention transients generated by elastic networks considering human emotions
Görür, Orhan Can; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
This thesis focuses on reshaping a previously detected human intention into a desired one, using contextual motions of mobile robots, which are in our applications, autonomous mobile 2-steps and a chair. Our system first estimates the current intention based on human trajectory depicted as location and detects body-mood of the person based on proxemics behaviors. Our previous reshaping applications have shown that the current human intention has to be deviated towards the new desired one in phases according...
