Who am I.
Steve Goldberg
10+ years building robots for NASA/JPL Worked on MER, BigDog and Crusher Expert in stereo vision and autonomous navigation Currently head of Robotics at Adigo Mechatronics in Oppegard
An Introduction to Mobile Robotics
● Mobile robotics cover robots that roll, walk, fly or swim.
● Mobile robots need to answer three fundamental questions
● Where am I
● Where am I going
● How do I get there
● To answer these questions the robot must first
● Make measurements
● Model the environment
● Localize it self
● Plan a path to its goal
Manipulators and Mobile Robots Manipulators
● Operate in a constrained workspace
● Have absolute measurements of
position
● May or may not need to perceive the
world around them.
Mobile Robots
● Can operate in unconstrained environments
● Need external sensing to determine position
● Need external sensing to avoid obstacles
