Mobile robots are playing an increasingly important role in our
world. Remotely operated vehicles are in everyday use for hazardous
tasks such as charting and cleaning up hazardous waste spills,
construction work of tunnels and high rise buildings, and
underwater inspection of oil drilling platforms in the ocean. A
whole host of further applications, however, beckons robots capable
of autonomous operation without or with very little intervention of
human operators. Such robots of the future will explore distant
planets, map the ocean floor, study the flow of pollutants and
carbon dioxide through our atmosphere and oceans, work in
underground mines, and perform other jobs we cannot even imagine;
perhaps even drive our cars and walk our dogs. The biggest
technical obstacles to building mobile robots are vision and
navigation-enabling a robot to see the world around it, to plan and
follow a safe path through its environment, and to execute its
tasks. At the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute, we are studying
those problems both in isolation and by building complete systems.
Since 1980, we have developed a series of small indoor mobile
robots, some experimental, and others for practical applicationr
Our outdoor autonomous mobile robot research started in 1984,
navigating through the campus sidewalk network using a small
outdoor vehicle called the Terregator. In 1985, with the advent of
DARPA's Autonomous Land Vehicle Project, we constructed a computer
controlled van with onboard sensors and researchers. In the fall of
1987, we began the development of a six-legged Planetary Rover.
