ベアリング計測を用いたサンプルベース出力フィードバックナビゲーション

原文アブストラクト

We consider the problem of sample-based feedback-based motion planning from bearing (direction-only) measurements. We build on our previous work that defines a cell decomposition of the environment using RRT*, and finds an output feedback controller to navigate through each cell toward a goal location using duality, Control Lyapunov and Barrier Functions (CLF, CBF), and Linear Programming. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy that uses relative bearing measurements with respect to a set of landmarks in the environment, as opposed to full relative displacements. The main advantage is then that the measurements can be obtained using a simple monocular camera. We test the proposed algorithm in the simulation, and then in an experimental environment to evaluate the performance of our approach with respect to practical issues such as mismatches in the dynamical model of the robot, and measurements acquired with a camera with a limited field of view.
