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.
