Abstract

This chapter addresses computing strategies designed to enable field mobile robots to execute tasks requiring effective autonomous traversal of natural outdoor terrain. The primary focus is on computer vision-based perception and autonomous control. Hard computing methods are combined with applied soft computing strategies in the context of three case studies associated with real-world robotics tasks including planetary surface exploration and land survey or reconnaissance. Each case study covers strategies implemented on wheeled robot research prototypes designed for field operations.
