Our mobile system Robbie is based on a MobileRobots Pioneer 3 AT. It is equipped with a four-wheel drive and sonar sensors in the front and in the back. On this platform, an aluminum rack is installed where additional sensors are attached: three color cameras (including two high resolution Sony FireWire cameras), an actively contolled Hokuyo URG- 04LX laser range finder (LRF), a thermal camera and an inclination sensor. The robot can be operated in autonomous and in teleoperated mode. The map building is done by the computer automatically by merging the collected LRF data with the odometry information using a Hyper Particle Filter (a particle filter of particle filters). The automatic victim detection is based on the obtained thermal and color camera images. Robbie was developed and improved at the University of Koblenz-Landau (Germany) during the last four years as a PhD projekct and in six practical courses. The robot was used by the team resko@UniKoblenz at the RoboCup German Open 2007, 2008 and 2009 in Hannover and at the RoboCup World Championship 2007 in Atlanta (GA, USA) and 2008 in Suzhou (China). The team achieved the “Best in Class Autonomy Award” in all five competitions. » weiterlesen» einklappen
