Abstract:

In this thesis, we investigate new multi-echelon vehicle routing problems for logistics operations using unmanned autonomous vehicles. This can provide immediate tangible outcomes, especially in high-demand areas that are otherwise difficult or costly to serve. This type of problem differs from the commonly used multi-echelon supply chain management systems in that here there exist no intermediate facilities that consolidate/separate products for delivery; instead all decisions are made on a per-vehicle basis. We describe here how we can obtain the necessary parameters (data collection) to eva

Abstract:

Autonomous vehicles have become the forefront of the automotive industry nowadays, looking to have safer and more efficient transportation systems. One of the main issues for every autonomous vehicle consists in being aware of its position and the presence of obstacles along its path. The current project addresses the pose and terrain mapping problem integrating a visual odometry method and a mapping technique. An RGB-D camera, the Kinect v2 from Microsoft, was chosen as sensor for capturing information from the environment. It was connected to an Intel mini-PC for real-time processing. Both p

Abstract:

The human factor accounts for nine out of ten out of all traffic accidents, and because more vehicles are being deployed on the roads, the number of accidents will increase. Because of this, various automated functions have been implemented in vehicles in order to minimize the human factor in driving. In recent year, this development has accelerated and vehicles able to perform the complete driving task without any human assistance have begun to emerge from different projects around the world. However, the autonomous vehicle still has many barriers to overcome before safe driving in traffic be

Autonomous ground vehicles are becoming prevalent in this modern society due to economical and environmental benefits.

Collision avoidance is also taken into account, where both moving and stationary obstacles are considered. This enables arbitrary fleets of vehicles to manoeuvre in a set formation without colliding with each other or other obstacles. The proposed controllers are p

Safe and simultaneous arrival of constant speed, constant altitude UAVs on target is solved by design of paths of equal lengths.

An explicit bound can be imposed on the rate during the design and the resulting paths are the minimum time solution of the problem.

Abstract:

The goal of Evolutionary Robotics (ER) is the development of automatic processes for the synthesis of robot control systems using evolutionary computation. The idea that it may be possible to synthesise robotic control systems using an automatic design process is appealing. However, ER is considerably more challenging and less automatic than its advocates would suggest. ER applies methods from the field of neuroevolution to evolve robot control systems. Neuroevolution is a machine learning algorithm that applies evolutionary computation to the design of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). T

Classical trajectory planning algorithms in artificial intelligence are not designed to deal with wide continuous environ~ents prone to currents.

Because a Voronoi boundary is the set of points locally maximizing the clearance from obstacles, safety is maximized on it. Therefore Voronoi Diagrams are suitable for motion planning of autonomous vehicles. We use the derivative of curvature k of the vehicle motion (dk

Management of the system's safety throughout its life-cycle, from the conceptualization stage to the end of the lifecycle, is of primary importance.

Instead of modeling a traditional MDP, this work formulates a Multi-policy decision making (MPDM) in a shared space scenario with pedestrians and vehicles.

Its main advantage is that it minimizes redundant coverage when the vehicle navigates at constant depth, leading to shorter paths. Second, we provide a method to account for the uncertainty in the vehicle position estimates when planning 2D surveys. The method
