This paper describes a planning framework of environment detection for unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) in the completely unknown off-road environment, which is able to quickly guide the UGV with nonholonomic constraints to detect the environmental information as much as possible. The contributions of this paper contain four fold. First, due to the sensor characteristics of camera and lidar, we present a two-layer combined detection map which can accurately represent the detected and undetected area. Second a frontier extraction algorithm based on RRT considering information acquisition and nonholonomic constraints of UGV is used to extract the target pose. Third, we use a search path planning method based on motion primitive which is able to handle obstacle constraints of environment, nonholonomic constraints of UGV. Fourth the heuristic fusion is proposed to guide the extension of motion primitives to generate a kinodynamically feasible and collision-free trajectory in real-time. And it works well in both simulation and real scene.

The UAV/UGV heterogeneous system combines the air superiority of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and the ground superiority of UGV (unmanned ground vehicle). The system can complete a series of complex tasks and one of them is pursuit-evasion decision, so a collaborative strategy of UAV/UGV heterogeneous system is proposed to derive a pursuit-evasion game in complex three-dimensional (3D) polygonal environment, which is large enough but with boundary. Firstly, the system and task hypothesis are introduced. Then, an improved boundary value problem (BVP) is used to unify the terrain data of decision and path planning. Under the condition that the evader knows the position of collaborative pursuers at any time but pursuers just have a line-of-sight view, a worst case is analyzed and the strategy between the evader and pursuers is studied. According to the state of evader, the strategy of collaborative pursuers is discussed in three situations: evader is in the visual field of pursuers, evader just disappears from the visual field of pursuers, and the position of evader is completely unknown to pursuers. The simulation results show that the strategy does not guarantee that the pursuers will win the game in complex 3D polygonal environment, but it is optimal in the worst case.

Complicated Task

Autonomous off-road navigation is a highly complicated task for a robot or unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) owing to the different kinds of obstacles it could encounter. In-particular, water hazards such as puddles and ponds are very common in outdoor environments and are hard to detect even with ranging devices due to the specular nature of reflection at the air water interface. In recent years, many researches to detect the water bodies have been done. But there still has been very little work on detecting bodies of water that could be navigation hazards, especially at night. In this paper, we used Velodyne HDL-64ES2 3D LIDAR to detect water hazard. The approach first analyzes the data format and transformation of 3D LIDAR, and then writes the data acquisition and visualizations algorithm, integrated data based on ICP algorithm. Finally according the intensity distribution identifies the water hazard. Experiments are carried out on the experimental car in campus, and results show the promising performance.
