The apparatus for measuring the pose of a mobile robot includes an accelerometer measuring acceleration of the mobile robot in a forward direction, a uniform-motion-determining unit determining whether the mobile robot belongs to a uniform motion section, an acceleration section, or a deceleration section, and a pose-calculating unit calculating a pitch and a roll of the mobile robot in the uniform motion section, using the relationship between the measured acceleration in the forward direction and the acceleration due to gravity. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20100094460 | Method and apparatus for simultaneous localization and mapping of robot - A SLAM of a robot is provided. The position of a robot and the position of feature data may be estimated by acquiring an image of the robot's surroundings, extracting feature data from the image, and matching the extracted feature data with registered feature data. Furthermore, measurement update is performed in a camera coordinate system and an appropriate assumption is added upon coordinate conversion, thereby reducing non-linear components and thus improving the SLAM performance. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100152945 | Apparatus and method of localization of mobile robot - A localization method and localization device of a mobile robot is provided. In one aspect, characteristic information of a reference object is stored in advance to be used as a landmark for localization, and reference characteristic information is defined by utilizing the stored characteristic information and characteristic information obtained at an initial location of the mobile robot. Therefore, the accuracy of localization can be increased without the use of additional artificial landmarks. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100324773 | Method and apparatus for relocating mobile robot - Provided is a method and apparatus for relocating a mobile robot when the mobile robot loses its position due to slipping. The method includes storing a moving path of the mobile robot and effective points on the moving path capable of finding an absolute position from a peripheral image; detecting an abnormal motion of the mobile robot; and when the abnormal motion of the mobile robot is detected, controlling the mobile robot to move to the effective point along a predetermined return path. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110085699 | Method and apparatus for tracking image patch considering scale - A method and apparatus for tracking an image considering scale are provided. A registered image patch may be divided into a scale-invariant image patch and a scale-variant image patch according to a predetermined scale invariance index (SII). If a registered image patch within an image is a scale-invariant image patch, the scale-invariant image patch is tracked by adjusting its position, while if the registered image patch is a scale-variant image patch, the scale-invariant image patch is tracked by adjusting its position and scale. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110166763 | Apparatus and method detecting a robot slip - An apparatus and method for detecting a slip of a robot. According to the apparatus and method, the probability of a slip occurring may be preliminarily determined using a first acceleration obtained from an acceleration sensor and a second acceleration obtained from an encoder. Then, finally the occurrence of a slip may be determined using a change in a driving control signal. Thus, accurate detection of a slip can be realized while preventing incorrect determination of slip occurrence. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110205338 | Apparatus for estimating position of mobile robot and method thereof - An apparatus and method for estimating the position of a mobile robot capable of reducing the time required to estimate the position is provided. The mobile robot position estimating apparatus includes a range data acquisition unit configured to acquire three-dimensional (3D) point cloud data, a storage unit configured to store a plurality of patches, each including points around a feature point which is extracted from previously acquired 3D point cloud data, and a position estimating unit configured to estimate the position of the mobile robot by tracking the plurality of patches from the acquired 3D point cloud data. | 08-25-2011 |
