In our work, robots rely on sporadic and intermittent sensor readings to synthesize information maximizing exploration strategies to find and localize the position of the source. By reasoning about the spatial distribution of these sensory cues, the robots are able to construct a belief distribution over the possible positions of the source. The belief distribution is then employed to synthesize motion strategies that drives the robots to regions in the workspace that results in the largest decrease in the entropy of the belief distribution for the source position. We validate the proposed strategies in 2D and 3D environments and consider the performance of the strategies when robots have limited access to global pose information. In particular, the proposed strategies are validated using a three dimensional (3D) time-varying computational fluid model of the 2010 Deep Water Horizon oil spill.","PeriodicalId":357384,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125035660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, outdoor radiation sampling is done manually or by ground or aerial unmanned systems. An unmanned surface vehicle can operate in shallow nuclear facility cooling ponds and connected streams, rivers, and bays to sample without entering the facility and while maintaining network connectivity to report readings. The Challenge 1 USV is a Lutra 1.1 autonomous airboat modified to carry an UltraRadiacTM. The debris-free area to survey is determined by teleoperation, then the system autonomously generates and executes a novel spiral path and sampling policy. Challenge 1 was tested for proof-of-concept at Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service's Disaster City® with a cesium-137 source placed near one shore of a pond 72 meters from the deployment point. During this test, 775 radiation readings were taken over an area of 57.61 square meters in 18 minutes. These data were used by an inverse distance weighting interpolation algorithm to produce a visual heatmap.","PeriodicalId":357384,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"435 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123376862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a person detector evaluation on a dataset collected from an autonomous tractor in an off-road environment representing challenging conditions with significant occlusion from weeds and branches as well as non-standing poses. We apply three image-only algorithms from urban pedestrian detection to better understand how well these approaches work in this domain. We evaluate the Aggregate Channel Features (ACF) and Deformable Parts Model (DPM) algorithms from the literature, as well as our own implementation of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). We show that the traditional performance metric used in the pedestrian detection literature is extremely sensitive to parameterization. When applied in domains like this one, where localization is challenging due to high background texture and occlusion, the choice of overlap threshold strongly affects measured performance. Using a permissive overlap threshold, we found that ACF, DPM, and CNN perform similarly overall in this domain, although they each have different failure modes.","PeriodicalId":357384,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115110673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the monocular visual-inertial system (VINS), which consists of only an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a camera, forms a great lightweight sensor suite due to its low weight and small footprint. In this work, we address two challenges for rapid deployment of monocular VINS - the initialization problem and the calibration problem. We propose a methodology that is able to initialize velocity, gravity, visual scale, and camera-IMU extrinsic calibration on-the-fly. Our approach does not require any prior knowledge about the mechanical configuration of the system. It is a significant step towards plug-and-play and highly customizable visual navigation for mobile robots. We show through online experiment that our method leads to accurate calibration of camera-IMU transformation with errors of 0.02 m in position and 2 degrees in rotation.","PeriodicalId":357384,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128740282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was also designed to be capable of operations in ocean waves, with self-righting ability in all sea states. We first review the LORCA design and technical specifications. We then discuss our initial work in trajectory following where an EKF-based approach is employed for localization and a sample based planner for control. Using only the sensing and computational resources available on a 3DR Pixhawk, we demonstrate effective trajectory following in a riverine environment at peak speeds of 48 kph (30 mph).

The standard Gaussian Process formulation assumes that the outputs are corrupted by identically independently distributed Gaussian noise. Even though, in general, wireless signals strength do not have homogeneous noise variance. If enough data samples are collected, the noise variance in office-like environments is usually low. In such cases the noise assumption holds. Previous work has demonstrated the viability of wireless signal strength-based localization in such office-like environments. We intend to extend the applicability of these models to perform robot localization in search and rescue scenarios. In such environments, we expect wireless signals strength measurements to be corrupted with high heteroscedastic noise variance. To extend the applicability of previous approaches to these scenarios, we relax the assumption regarding output noise, by considering that the noise variance depends on the inputs. In this work, we describe how this can be done for the specific case of modeling wireless signal strength. Our results show how relaxing this assumption helps improve localization using a synthetic data set generated by artificially increasing noise variance of real data taken from tests performed on a standard office-like environment.","PeriodicalId":357384,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115605669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only onboard sensing is exploited, such that only the images of the landing pad from a down-looking camera, along with data from an Inertial Measurement Unit's gyro, are used. The control system consists of an image-based nonlinear observer that estimates online the linear velocity of the vehicle and a backstepping image-based controller that generates attitude, and thrust setpoints to the quadrotor autopilot. Both observer and controller share the same feedback information: spherical visual features. Therefore no further image elaboration is needed for the estimation. This, along with the fact that only simple computations on low- and constant-dimension arrays are involved, makes the proposed solution computationally cheap. Real-hardware experiments on a quadrotor are carried out to verify the validity of the proposed control system.","PeriodicalId":357384,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125862346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This closed the facility for clean-up and the exhaust shaft is the greatest remaining technical challenge.
