Abstract
Environment monitoring is an emerging and very demanding topic, both for the social and scientific community. The planning and control of teleoperated/semi-autonomous earthwork equipment in such an environment is a very challenging task as it requires an adequate recognition of the work area and complex decision making activities based on the state of it.
In this paper, the outline of the Esprit II Exploratory Action “Advanced Sensor Systems for Autonomous Navigation” (ASSAN) is presented.
The main objective of the Exploratory Action will be the investigation in the wide area of mobile robotics in order to profit from recent advances in sensor and control systems. Having in mind the Sanitary Landfill environment, the study focuses on the control of a remotely operated semi-autonomous vehicle working in an unstructured environment, dynamically changing, in order to avoid risky conditions for human operators.
