Autonomous vehicles have many application possibilities within many different fields like rescue missions, exploring foreign environments or unmanned vehicles etc. For such system to navigate in a safe manner, high requirements of reliability and security must be fulfilled.

<p>This report presents two optimization problems, where three cost-functions are suggested for each. The goal for the first optimization problem is to find a time variant look-ahead distance which improves the performance of the vessel in terms of the cross-track error, relative to constant look-ahead distances. The second optimization problem is an extension of the first, where a time variant surge velocity reference is also calculated. This results in smaller cross-track errors, at the cost of increased calculation time. It is assumed that the path and the desired surge velocity on the path

This research proposes to adapt the concept of trajectory shaping guidance law on a quadrotor to follow several different predefined, compact paths. Keeping the real world nonlinearities, sensor and process noise in mind, the technique is simulated using MATLAB-Simulink.

Also, the results obtained from the trajectory shaping concept are compared to the performance characteristics of another path following concept called differential flatness. In addition to

Abstract:
Path following and lateral stability are crucial issues for autonomous vehicles. Moreover, these problems increase in complexity when handling heavy-duty vehicles due to their poor manoeuvrability, large sizes and mass variation. In addition, uncertainties on mass may have the potential to significantly decrease the performance of the system, even to the point of destabilising it. These parametric variations must be taken into account during the design of the controller. However, robust control techniques usually require offline adjustment of auxiliary tuning parameters, which is not practical

Quadrotors, being more agile than fixed-wing vehicles, are the ideal candidates for autonomous missions in small, compact spaces. The immense challenge to navigate such environments is fulfilled by the concept of path following. Path following is the method of tracking/tracing a fixed, pre-defined path with minimum position error while exerting the lowest possible control effort. In this work, the missile guidance technique of pure pursuit is adopted and modified for a 3D quadrotor model to follow fixed, compact trajectories.

Abstract:
To stay competitive internationally, the Swedish forestry sector must increase its productivity by 2 to 3% annually. There are a variety of ways in which productivity can be increased. One option is to develop remote-controlled or unmanned machines, thus reducing the need for operator intervention. Another option—and one that could be achieved sooner than full automation—would be to make some functions semi-automatic. Semi-automatic operation of the knuckle boom and felling head in particular would create “mini-breaks” for the operators, thereby reducing mental and physiological stress.

Abstract:
碩士<br>大葉大學<br>電機工程學系<br>98<br>The aim of this study is to develop an versatile mobile robot, addition on mobile robot sensory or other tools, causes the monotonous tool to become an versatile mobile robot. Form accurate dense control, the system can send orders sensor data to control vehicle motion, mobile robot can rest on us to plan motion along a route. Controls the mobile robot by three reflection sensor (CNY 70) element to plan motion along a route, mobile robot receive data by three reflection sensor, drive left and right motor condition to achieve the direction the control.
