Author:Yinka-Banjo, CO; Osunmakinde, IO; Bagula, ADate:Mar 2011Collision avoidance is one of the important safety key operations that needs attention in the navigation system of an autonomous robot. In this paper, a Behavioural Bayesian Network approach is proposed as a collision avoidance strategy for ...Read more
Author:Osunmakinde, IO; Bagula, ADate:Nov 2009In this paper, temporal probabilistic reasoning of the Emergent Situation Awareness (ESA) technology is proposed as a supportive strategy for autonomous navigation. The ability to reveal uncertainties over time is a drivable route awareness ...Read more
Author:Osunmakind, IO; Ndhlovu, TDate:Nov 2009In this paper, collective intelligence of the Emergent Situation Awareness (ESA) technology is proposed as a supportive strategy for autonomous robotic navigation. The ability to reveal uncertainties over time on flexed far-field is a ground ...Read more
Author:Dickens, JS; Green, JJ; Van Wyk, MADate:Jul 2011Underground mine automation has the potential to increase safety, productivity and allow the mining of lower-grade resources. In a mining environment with both autonomous robots and humans, it is essential that the robots are able to detect ...Read more
Author:Shahdi, ADate:Oct 2012In this presentation, the author outlines the application of an autonomous robotics platform in performing safety surveys and mapping of active mines.Read more
Author:Ratshidaho, T; Tapamo, JR; Claassens, J; Govender, NatashaDate:Oct 2012We present three approaches for ego-motion estimation using Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera data. Ego-motion is defined as a process of estimating a camera’s pose (position and orientation) relative to some initial pose using the camera’s image ...Read more
Author:James, S; Verrinder, RA; Sabatta, D; Shahdi, ADate:Oct 2012One of the major issues in the field of mobile robotics is localisation and navigation in an unknown environment. These tasks become even more challenging in an underground environment where no GPS signals or stationary landmark towers are ...Read more
