Obstacle detection of mobile robot based on data fusion

To study the problem of obstacle detection based on multi-sensors data fusion, the multi-target tracking theory and techniques are introduced into obstacle detection systems, and the exact position of obstacle can be determined. Data fusion problems are discussed directly based on achievable data from some sensors without considering the specific structure of each individual sensor. With respect to normal linear systems and nonlinear systems, the corresponding algorithms are proposed. The validity of the method is confirmed by simulation results.
