Detecting, locating and crossing a door for a wide indoor surveillance robot

Crossing a door is usually a necessary action for autonomous patrol of an indoor surveillance robot. However, it is difficult for a large robot to cross narrow doors. In this paper, a method for detecting, locating and crossing a door for an indoor surveillance robot with Kinect is presented. Firstly, doors are detected and located based on RGB-D data collected form Kinect. Then, the conversion between robot coordinate system and world coordinate system is discussed. Thirdly, a nonlinear adaptive controller is designed for the robot to move perpendicularly through the door. Experiments were taken on a surveillance robot and the results illustrated the effectiveness of this method.
