Robot Localization and Mapping

Introduction

My research interest in robot localization and mapping is basically related to how the mobile robot is able to localize itself in dynamic environment. Several methods are used by the mobile robot to localize itself in the environment. In addition to that, the robot also required to build a map regarding its surrounding environment to recognize the feasible path for robot navigation.

Robot Navigation

Introduction

After the mobile robot recognize its surrounding by using localization and mapping method, it is expected to identify the feasible path and obstacle inside the environment. Therefore, it needs a path which will guide the robot to move efficiently towards the target with minimum time and energy. Therefore, an efficient path planner is needed.

Current Project

Multi-Objective Navigation Planning for Agricultural Mobile Robot

Optimization Algorithm

Introduction

In addition to the robot navigation and planning, I am also interested in the application of Optimization Algorithms in several application includes control, path planning and image processing. Some of the algorithms which have been used in my research are:

 

1. Single Objective Algorithms (PSO, GA, ACO)

2. Multi-Objective Algorithms (MOPSO, NSGA-II, NSGA-III)
