Trajectory determination and analysis in sports by satellite and inertial navigation

Adrian Wägli

This research presents methods for performance analysis in sports through the integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements with Inertial Navigation System (INS). The described approach focuses on strapdown inertial navigation using Micro-Ele ...

A Fast On-Board Relative Positioning Module for Multi-Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh, Xavier Raemy, Riccardo Falconi, Cédric Favre

We present an on-board robotic module which can determine relative positions among miniature robots. The module uses high-frequency modulated infrared emissions to enable nearby robots to determine the range, bearing, and message of the sender with a rapid ...

Map Matching using a multi-hypothesis approach

Modern navigation systems use multi-sensor-systems for location determination in combination with GPS or DGPS. Limitations in the availability of satellites due to shadowing and multi path effects in urban areas, magnetic disturbances, wheel slips and erro ...

A noninvasive brain-actuated wheelchair based on a P300 neurophysiological protocol and automated navigation

Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil

This paper describes a new noninvasive brain-actuated wheelchair that relies on a P300 neurophysiological protocol and automated navigation. When in operation, the user faces a screen displaying a real-time virtual reconstruction of the scenario and concen ...

Cooperative Localization for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Alexander Bahr

This paper describes an algorithm for distributed acoustic navigation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). Whereas typical AUV navigation systems utilize pre-calibrated arrays of static transponders, our work seeks to create a fully mobile network of ...

Robust Pedestrian Navigation for Challenging Applications

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron

Presentation of a concept for robust indoor navigation. The concept is based on three key elements: - the use of an absolute geographical reference - the hybridisation of complementary technologies - specific motion models. This concept is illustrated by t ...

Cooperative Localization for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Alexander Bahr

The absence of GPS underwater makes navigation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) a difficult challenge. Without an external reference in the form of acoustic beacons at known positions, the vehicle has to rely on proprioceptive information obtained ...

Improving pedestrian dynamics modelling using fuzzy logic

Kamiar Aminian, Bertrand Merminod, Phillip Tomé, François Bonzon

The complementary nature of MEMS based pedestrian dead-reckoning (PDR) navigation and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) has long been recognised. The advantages are quite clear for those applications requiring indoor positioning and that, for one r ...

Hybrid, metric-topological representation for localization and mapping

Nicola Tomatis

This chapter describes an approach for indoor spatial representation, which is used to model the environment for the navigation of a fully autonomous robot. The metric and topological paradigms are integrated in a hybrid system for both localization and ma ...

Terrain-based Navigation for Underwater Vehicles Using Side Scan Sonar Images

Hannes Bleuler, Severin Stalder

Underwater navigation challenges the research community as a reliable navigation system is unavailable. Correctly matched landmarks could compensate the drift of dead reckoning navigation systems. Furthermore, they could be useful in side scan sonar image ...
