In most applications of autonomous navigation, the state of a system must be estimated from noisy sensors. Accurate estimation of the true system state can be achieved using data fusion algorithms. Furthermore, the fusion scheme can be affected by many factors such as modeling errors and parameters uncertainties. The gaps and inconsistencies due to the sensors noise and modeling errors can be reached with robust nonlinear filtering. In this article, a new framework has been developed for data fusion algorithms based on nonlinear NH∞ filter with fuzzy adaptive bound and adaptive disturbances attenuations. Type-1 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ algorithm has been proposed and compared with the Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞, for unmanned vehicle localization. The proposed algorithms fuse data from low-cost sensors using inertial navigation system, Global Positioning System and monocular vision. Type-1 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ and Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ algorithms, adaptively, handle the effects of noisy sensors, parameters uncertainties and modeling errors. Both algorithms use adaptive bounds [Formula: see text] and adaptive disturbance attenuation [Formula: see text] for higher-order terms of the Taylor development. The adaptive bounds consider issues associated to Gyro drift, image distortion and Global Positioning System dilution of precision which make the proposed algorithms more accurate than the classical NH∞. The validating experiment and the efficiency of Type-1 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ and Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ have been conducted in real scenario and in unstructured outdoor environment without any a priori knowledge of the evolution of the vehicle. The experimental results have demonstrated the robustness and efficiency of these two filtering strategies against uncertainties and their online sensor switching capability. The Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ algorithm provides more accuracy and robustness compared to the Type-1 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞.

Heading Angle

This paper presents a system that measures the heading angle of underground Load-Haul-Dump (LHD) based on Ultra Wideband (UWB). The system is composed by two UWB modules. The heading angle gives the predictable information for the vehicle localization. Because of the features of underground mines, many current methods for estimating heading angle have limitations in this situation, such as the absence of Global Positioning System (GPS) and the high cost of the positioning methods based on beacons. The range resolution is proportional to the bandwidth of signal. So, the large system bandwidth of UWB offers high accuracy. We estimate the heading angle by measuring the angle between two UWB modules, which is implemented on LHD. The position error of the two modules directly decides the error of heading angle. This paper analyzes and discusses two-dimensional error in theory. The experimental results demonstrate that it is feasible to use the proposed method for an underground environment.

The problem of data fusion based on filter is studied for an integrated inertial navigation system / Beidou navigation system / global positioning system (INS/BNS/GPS) with uncertain noise and conditionality of using GPS. The integrated navigation system can be divided into two integrated navigation subsystems (INS/BNS and INS/GPS). The signals from GPS and BNS receivers are easy to be disturbed, so filter is used to estimate the subsystem errors which are transmitted to fusion center online. Then data fusion is carried out by using the fuzzy fusion algorithm. Simulation results show that the algorithm can improve the accuracy and stability of navigation system.

Seiring dengan pesatnya kemajuan teknologi saat ini, kebutuhan manusia menjadi lebih beragam, termasuk kebutuhan akan informasi. Tidak hanya media informasinya yang semakin beragam, jenis informasi yang dibutuhkan juga semakin beragam, salah satunya adalah kebutuhan informasi akan posisi kita terhadap lingkungan sekitar. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan itu sebuah sistem pemosisi diciptakan. Sistem pemosisi yang banyak digunakan saat ini cenderung berfokus pada lingkup ruang yang besar (global) padahal, dalam lingkup ruang yang lebih kecil (lokal) sebuah sistem pemosisi juga diperlukan, seperti di ruang-ruang terbuka umum (taman atau kebun), ataupun dalam sebuah bangunan. Sistem pemosisi lokal yang ada saat ini sering kali membutuhkan infrastruktur yang mahal dalam pembangunannya. Aplikasi Pemosisi Lokal Berbasis Android dengan Menggunakan GPS ini adalah sebuah aplikasi yang dibangun untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna akan informasi lokasi dan posisi mereka terhadap lingkungan di sekitarnya dalam lingkup ruang yang lebih kecil (lokal) dengan memanfaatkan perangkat GPS (Global Positioning System) yang telah tertanam dalam perangkat smartphone Android agar infrastruktur yang dibutuhkan lebih efisien. Dalam implementasinya, Aplikasi Pemosisi Lokal ini bertindak sebagai klien dengan dukungan sebuah Database Server yang berfungsi sebagai media penyimpanan data serta sumber referensi informasi yang dapat diakses melalui jaringan internet sehingga tercipta sebuah sistem yang terintegrasi secara global. Kata kunci: aplikasi, informasi, pemosisi, GPS.

This paper examines the distribution of hospitality services in Uyo Urban, Nigeria. GIS method was the primary tool used for data collection. A global positioning system (GPS) Garmin 60 model was used in tracking the location of 102 hospitality services in the study area. One hypothesis was stated and tested using the nearest neighbour analysis. The finding shows evidence of clustering of the various hospitality services. The tested hypothesis further indicated that hospitality services clustered in areas that guarantee a sustainable level of patronage to maximize profit. Thus, the hospitality services clustered in selected streets in the metropolis while limited numbers were found outside the city’s central area.
