This paper presents a novel vision-based approach for indoor environment monitoring by a mobile robot. The proposed system is based on computer vision methods to match the current scene with a stored one, looking for new or removed objects. The matching process uses both keypoint features and colour information. A PCA-SIFT algorithm is employed for feature extraction and matching. Colour-based segmentation is performed separately, using HSV coding. A fuzzy logic inference system is applied to fuse information from both steps and decide whether a significant variation of the scene has occurred. Results from experimental tests demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method in robot surveillance applications.

This paper describes the design and the implementation of a trajectory tracking controller using fuzzy logic for mobile robot to navigate in indoor environments. Most of the previous works used two independent controllers for navigation and avoiding obstacles. The main contribution of the paper can be summarized in the fact that we use only one fuzzy controller for navigation and obstacle avoidance. The used mobile robot is equipped with DC motor, nine infrared range (IR) sensors to measure the distance to obstacles, and two optical encoders to provide the actual position and speeds. To evaluate the performances of the intelligent navigation algorithms, different trajectories are used and simulated using MATLAB software and SIMIAM navigation platform. Simulation results show the performances of the intelligent navigation algorithms in terms of simulation times and travelled path.
