State of the Art of group 5

Jasper

[1][2] Article about a trash collecting robot (team). It is about office cleanup, but with some changes the technique can also be relevant for outside use. It is about a competition. One document describes the solution of the winning team, the other gives some more information about the competition.

[3] A patent for sucking and filtering for a dust collection vehicle.

[4] A patent for an autonomous lawn mower robot. Also about navigating over the lawn.

[5] Paper about weed control, describing navigating through specific areas, detecting weed with a camera, making weed maps and spraying weed.

[6] A patent for a snow sweeper for sidewalks.

Tom

[7] Paper about the design of an autonomous vacuum cleaner.

[8] Paper about pathing algorithms for autonomous vacuum cleaner robots.

[9] Analysis of snow melting approaches.

[10] Paper about machine vision application for weed removal.

[11] Analysis of pavement maintenance methods.

[12] Research into small (< 20kg) urban robots for disaster relief.

Stan

[13] Paper about navigation on pavements, avoiding litter, pedestrians and bicycles.

[14] Paper about asphalt analysis, to detect whether the road needs maintenance. This paper was actually meant for airborne sensing, but could be used by our robot as well.

[15] Paper about stair-climbing methods for robots, useful for our robot to easily get on or off the pavement.

[16] Article about weather forecasting in the road network. Could be used by our robot to predict which task it has to do (e.g. de-icing the road)

[17] Paper about autonomous docking at a recharging station for autonomous vehicles in general

[18] Article about an autonomous cleaning robot for outdoor use, including path-finding and memory of cleaned areas
