Abstract

This is a technical report on an outdoor navigation for autonomous mobile robot based on DGPS and odometry positioning data. The robot position is estimated by fusion of DGPS and odometry. However, DGPS measurement data suffer from multi-path or other effects near high building and high trees. Thus, it is necessary to pick up only reliable and accurate DGPS measurement data when the robot position is corrected by data fusion of DGPS and odometry. In this paper, the authors propose a selection method of erroneous DGPS measurement data and a rule of data fusion for robot position correction. Finally, the authors equip a mobile robot with the proposed correction method and the robot autonomously navigates in a campus walkway.
