Abstract

We used an omnidirectional vision for navigating an omnidirectional mobile robot. We examined teaching algorithms by showing a few images for mobile robot navigation, and verified its feasibility through experiments. To improve positioning accuracy, we designed and tested a positional error compensation algorithm that fits omnidirectional images.
