Mobile Robot Performance at Restricted Energy and Autonomy

详细

Two methods are proposed to estimate the performance of ground mobile robots. As the performance criterion, the distance the robot is able to cover to reach the event place by using its inner energy source is selected. In the first method, it is assumed that all the distance to the GPS can be overcame by the robot under operator control. In the second method, the distance is divided into operator-controlled and robot autonomous motion ones, and the energy needed in this case is analyzed.
