A first-stage experiment on long term activity of autonomous mobile robot - Repetitive base-docking task

HADA Yasushi
Yamabico "Liv"

From 2000, May 8, During the 10 days of the experiment, the Yamabico "Liv" kept on returning to base and parking to fill its batteries, in spite of external disturbances. In one week, "Liv"parked 1080 times and ran 3391 m.

In this movie, we can see 4 experiments:

  1. The normal case: get out of the base and get back
  2. The same for another angle
  3. Tried the same experiment while concealing the tape on floor used for navigation
  4. Confrontation with an obstacle
