Based on the use of well-developed locomotion control systems, humanoid robots are further expected to achieve high-level intelligence, such as vision-based obstacle avoidance navigation. To provide standard obstacle avoidance navigation problems for autonomous humanoid robot researches, the HuroCup League of Federation of International Robot-Soccer Association (FIRA) and the RoboCup Humanoid League defined the conditions and rules in competitions to evaluate the performance. In this paper, the vision-based obstacle avoidance navigation approaches for humanoid robots were proposed in terms of combining the techniques of visual localization, obstacle map construction and artificial potential field (APF)-based reactive navigations. Moreover, a small-size humanoid robot (HuroEvolutionJR) and an adult-size humanoid robot (HuroEvolutionAD) were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed obstacle avoidance navigation approach. The navigation performance was evaluated with the distance of ground truth trajectory collected from a motion capture system. Finally, the experiment results demonstrated the effectiveness of using vision-based localization and obstacle map construction approaches. Moreover, the APF-based navigation approach was capable of achieving smaller trajectory distance when compared to conventional just-avoiding-nearest-obstacle-rule approach. ? 2013 World Scientific Publishing Company. |
