Abstract | To carry out the navigation task starting with the information given by a sensor, an algorithm has been developed to model environments and plan the path that has to be tracked. It is capable of searching alternative routes if an obstacle has been detected, and chooses the optimal path, tracking smoothly the trajectory, without sudden variations in the robot orientation and movement. The necessary information is received as tuples of X-Z coordinates from an infrared detector, capable of sampling hundreds of points with an aperture angle of 100/spl deg/. Then, the tuples are ordered by the Z coordinate, and making use of regression methods, the object contours in the scene are modeled. Also the environment borders are detected as line segments. The number detected can be modified, so the model fits well into the environment using different granularity. It is possible to attain higher precision allowing an increase in the processing time. Once the environment is modeled, all the possible alternative trajectories are calculated to avoid the obstacles detected and reach the goal point. Those trajectories are computed and stored as cubic polynomial splines, using four reference systems to avoid impossible tracking through an intermediate point. For the case where the goal cannot be reached with a unique spline, the whole path is divided into several trajectories, joining them in the optimal point with the best orientation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
