State Estimation Techniques for 3D Visualizations of Web-based Tele-operated Mobile Robots

Künstliche Intelligenz


 

Abstract

The World Wide Web provides a unique opportunity to connect robots to the Internet. Easy to use Web interfaces enable people all over the world to control mobile robots and to monitor their operation from the distance. In this context visualizing the robot s actions plays a key role. This paper presents probabilistic state estimation techniques for a system which provides smooth real-time 3D-visualizations of a mobile robot within a dynamic environment over the Internet. Using the robot s sensors, the state estimators continuously determine the position and the pose of dynamic objects which influence the behavior of the robot. This way accurate visualizations of the actions of the robot and of the relevant aspects of its environment can be achieved.
