Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Planetary rovers are robots that need to perform autonomous navigation, because of the long delay communication and no human assistance.
Furthermore, they need to perform the optimal estimation of its position in order to have a good performance· on its navigation system.
The need for good performance filters for estimating the actual position of mobile robots of this kind is needed, due to the fact that sensors are noisy and that information is of vital importance for a planetary rover's mission.
Besides, good accurate sensors for the matter are not easy to find for space application.

Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) were implemented to analyse a data set of a 4-wheel robot, and later used for comparison on accuracy in the estimation of its pose.
The analysis will give the possibility to know the right combination of sensors, recognize some issues during the trajectory.
Furthermore, this study has been made with aims to give the reader knowledge of state of the art in planetary rovers, their constraints and consideration while developing them.
The robot used for the research has been developed for an international competition of field robot automation.
The main goal is to navigate autonomously through flowerpots performing different tasks as flowerpot collection, distance travelled and robustness on localization and navigation algorithms.
