Mobile Robot Navigation Projects at BMF NIK

In the recent years we have been investigating the possibilities of developing and applying mobile robots within the framework of several projects at the Institute of Applied Informatics of John Neumann Faculty of Informatics at Budapest Polytechnic. The research included the study of development options of movement possibilities of mobile constructions, and also the automatic use of such in unknown environment. In this framework we have built a high speed, wheeled robot, which works, however, only at good lie of terrain, and also walking robots that are slower but can move at worse terrain conditions. Special sensors and cameras mounted on the robots are used for detecting the environment. The image-processing phase ensures that the obstacle positions and the free areas are detected.
In the talk we wish to present not only our results of the state of our current research, but the applied educational system as well.
