Development of mobile sensor terminals “Portable Go” for navigation in informationally structured and unstructured environments
Abstract This paper proposes a navigation system of a personal mobility robot in informationally structured and unstructured environments. First, we introduce a group of robots named Portable Go, which are equipped with laser range finders, gyros, and omni-directional wheels. The Portable Go robots...
