Work description
The navigation system for an industrial autonomous mobile robot to operate in the shopfloor would benefit extensively from an adaptive accuracy depending on the circumstances. If the robot is moving around obstacles or docking high localization accuracy is required (and markers are not always possible to be used) but if the space around is less demanding the requirements should be adapted for the maximum efficiency. This work will be focused on the development of a navigation system that (1) compatible with multiples sensing systems (2) adaptable to the environment, by dynamically and automatically selecting or merging (by fusion) the localization estimates, following the requirements of the local context. The final objective is the development of algorithms that improve efficiency and robustness of the navigation system of a mobile robot with limited resources in non-structured environments.
