We introduce a new control law for robots that explore unknown environments and configuration spaces. Unlike numerical continuation methods, which produce a jagged path because of the predictor-corrector approach, the control law, introduced in this paper, performs sensor based planning by directing the head of a robot to follow continuously a roadmap. Recall that a roadmap is a one-dimensional representation of a robot's environment. Once the robot exhaustively traces out the roadmap using this control law, it has in essence explored an environment. Experiments on a mobile robot validate the control law

Robot end-effector based sensor integration for tracking moving parts Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (2000-08-31) This paper presents a cost-efficient end-effector based infrared proximity sensor integration system and the implementation of fuzzy-logic control algorithm.
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...
Trajectory planning and tracking for autonomous vehicles Çiçek, Haluk Levent; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-12-27) Finding appropriate paths is an essential issue for the development of autonomous vehicles and robots. Hereby, it has to be considered that autonomous vehicles cannot follow sharp corners, as they cannot turn on a single point. Therefore, it is important to compute smooth paths that have additional desirable properties such as minimum length and sufficient distance from obstacles. Furthermore, practical applications require the computation of such paths in real time. This thesis develops a general method...
Swarm-Bot: Pattern Formation in A Swarm Of Self-Assembling Mobile Robots Şahin, Erol; Trianni, Vito; Deneubourg, Jean-louis; Rasse, Philip; Floreano, Dario; Gambardella, Luca; Mondada, Francesco; Nolfi, Stefano; Dorigo, Marco (2002-12-01) In this paper we introduce a new robotic system, called swarm-bot. The system consists of a swarm of mobile robots with the ability to connect to/disconnect from each other to self-assemble into different kinds of structures. First, we describe our vision and the goals of the project. Then we present preliminary results on the formation of patterns obtained from a grid-world simulation of the system.
The learning and use of traversability affordance using range images on a mobile robot Ugur, Emre; Dogar, Mehmet R.; Cakmak, Maya; Şahin, Erol (2007-04-14) We are interested in how the concept of affordances can affect our view to autonomous robot control, and how the results obtained from autonomous robotics can be reflected back upon the discussion and studies on the concept of affordances. In this paper, we studied how a mobile robot, equipped with a 3D laser scanner, can learn to perceive the traversability affordance and use it to wander in a room filled with spheres, cylinders and boxes. The results showed that after learning, the robot can wander around...
