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 ...
Global Urban Localization of Outdoor Mobile Robots Using Satellite Images
DOĞRUER, CAN ULAŞ; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Dölen, Melik (2008-09-26)
Localization is one of the major research fields in mobile robotics. With the utilization of satellite images and Monte Carlo localization technique, the global localization of an outdoor mobile robot is studied in this paper. The proposed method employs satellite images downloaded from the Internet to localize the robot iteratively. To accomplish this, the proposed method matches the local laser scanner data with the segmented satellite images. Initial test results conducted on the METU campus are found to...
Global urban localization of an outdoor mobile robot using satellite images
Doğruer, Can Ulaş; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009)
In this dissertation, the mapping of outdoor environments and localization of a mobile robot in that setting is considered. It is well known that in the absence of a map or precise pose estimates, localization and mapping is a coupled problem. However, in this dissertation this problem is decoupled in to two disjoint steps; mapping and localization on the acquired map. First the images of the outdoor environment is downloaded from a website such as Google Earth and then these images are processed by utilizi...
Global exponential stability of neural networks with non-smooth and impact activations
Akhmet, Marat (2012-10-01)
In this paper, we consider a model of impulsive recurrent neural networks with piecewise constant argument. The dynamics are presented by differential equations with discontinuities such as impulses at fixed moments and piecewise constant argument of generalized type. Sufficient conditions ensuring the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of the equilibrium point are obtained. By employing Green's function we derive new result of existence of the periodic solution. The global exponential s...
Global Constraints on Feature Models
KARATAS, Ahmet Serkan; OGUZTUZUN, Halit; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2010-09-10)
Feature modeling has been found very effective for modeling and managing variability in Software Product Lines. The nature of feature models invites, sometimes even requires, the use of global constraints. This paper lays the groundwork for the inclusion of global constraints in automated reasoning on feature models. We present a mapping from extended feature models to constraint logic programming over finite domains, and show that this mapping enables using global constraints on feature attributes, as well...
