چکیده

This paper describes a novel, laser-based approach for tracking the pose of a high-speed mobile robot. The algorithm is outstanding in terms of accuracy and computation time. The efficiency is achieved by a closed-form solution for the matching of two laser scans, the use of natural scan features and fast linear filters. The implemented algorithm is evaluated with the high-speed robot Kurt3D (4 m/s), and compared to standard scan matching methods in indoor and outdoor environments. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

A New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion

This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...

Map-merging in Multi-robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Process Using Two Heterogeneous Ground Robots

In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...

Feature-Based Laser Scan Matching For Accurate and High Speed Mobile Robot Localization

This paper introduces an accurate and high speed pose tracking method for mobile robots based on matching of extracted features from consecutive scans. The feature extraction algorithm proposed in this paper uses a global information of the whole scan data and local information around feature points. Uncertainty of each feature is represented using covariance matrices determined due to observat...

A Probabilistic Approach to Collaborative Multi-Robot Localization

This paper presents a statistical algorithm for collaborative mobile robot localization. Our approach uses a sample-based version of Markov localization, capable of localizing mobile robots in an any-time fashion. When teams of robots localize themselves in the same environment, probabilistic methods are employed to synchronize each robot’s belief whenever one robot detects another. As a result...

Collaborative Multi-Robot Monte Carlo Localization in Assistant Robots

This paper presents an algorithm for collaborative mobile robot localization based on probabilistic methods (Monte Carlo localization) used in assistant robots. When a root detects another in the same environment, a probabilistic method is used to synchronize each robot’s belief. As a result, the robots localize themselves faster and maintain higher accuracy. The technique has been implemented ...
