چکیده
This article present results for building accurate 3-D maps of urban environments with amobile SegwayRMP. The goal of this project is to use robotic systems to rapidly acquire 3-D maps, which seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor structures. Our approach is based on an information-solution of the SLAM problem, which enables us to seamlessly integrate GPS, IMU, and scan data. 3-D models acquired by the robot are analyzed for navigability using a multi-grid approach, and visualized using a level set technique. Results are presented for a number of environments, some of which combine indoor and outdoor terrain.

Cognitive Mapping Based on Conjunctive Representations of Space and Movement
It is a challenge to build robust simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system in dynamical large-scale environments. Inspired by recent findings in the entorhinal-hippocampal neuronal circuits, we propose a cognitive mapping model that includes continuous attractor networks of head-direction cells and conjunctive grid cells to integrate velocity information by conjunctive encodings of s...
متن کاملSebastian Thrun and Michael Montemerlo The Graph SLAM Algorithm with Applications to Large - Scale Mapping of Urban Structures
This article presents GraphSLAM, a unifying algorithm for the offline SLAM problem. GraphSLAM is closely related to a recent sequence of research papers on applying optimization techniques to SLAM problems. It transforms the SLAM posterior into a graphical network, representing the log-likelihood of the data. It then reduces this graph using variable elimination techniques, arriving at a lowerd...
متن کاملA simple form of MT impedance tensor analysis to simplify its decomposition to remove the effects of near surface small-scale 3-D conductivity structures
Magnetotelluric (MT) is a natural electromagnetic (EM) technique which is used for geothermal, petroleum, geotechnical, groundwater and mineral exploration. MT is also routinely used for mapping of deep subsurface structures. In this method, the measured regional complex impedance tensor (Z) is substantially distorted by any topographical feature or small-scale near-surface, three-dimensional (...
متن کاملDistributed robotic mapping of extreme environments
In the extreme environments posed by war fighting, fire fighting, and nuclear accident response, the cost of direct human exposure is levied in terms of injury and death. Robotic alternatives must address effective operations while removing humans from danger. This is profoundly challenging, as extreme environments inflict cumulative performance damage on exposed robotic agents. Sensing and per...
