This dissertation addresses the autonomous localisation and navigation problem in the context of an underground mining environment. This kind of environment has little or no features as well as no access to GPS or stationary towers, which are usually used for navigation. In addition dust and debris may hinder optical methods for ranging. This study looks at the feasibility of using randomly distributed RFID tags to autonomously navigate in this environment. Clustering of observed tags are used for localisation, subsequently value iteration is used to navigate to a defined goal. Results are presented, concluding that it is feasible to localise and navigate using only RFID tags, in simulation. Localisation feasibility is also confirmed by experimental measurements. 2015-07-02T08:35:57Z 2015-07-02T08:35:57Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MSc (Eng) http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13281 eng application/pdf Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
