Sensor fusion for precise autonomous vehicle navigation in outdoor semi-structured environments
This paper presents a guidance system for autonomous vehicles navigation in semi-structured outdoor environments. It integrates redundant encoders data and absolute positioning data provided by landmarks and artificial beacons. Natural features are localized using a laser range sensor, and magnetic sensing rulers were developed to detect magnetic markers buried in the ground. In the first fusion stage, data from four wheel encoders and one steering encoder are fused by means of an EKF, providing robust odometric information, namely in face of undesirable effects of wheels slippage. Next, a second fusion stage is processed for integrating odometric and absolute positioning data. Simulation and real experiments using a four-wheels actuated electrical vehicle are presented.
