Hierarchical simultaneous localization and mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel method of combining topological and feature-based mapping strategies to create a hierarchical approach to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). More than simply running both processes in parallel, we use the topological mapping procedure to organize local feature-based methods. The result is an autonomous exploration and mapping strategy that scales well to large environments and higher dimensions while confronting the issue of obstacle avoidance. We have obtained successful results of our approach in an area spanning 5000 square meters.

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...

Even when simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solutions have been broadly developed, the vast majority of them relate to a single robot performing measurements in static environments. Researches show that the performance of SLAM algorithms deteriorates under dynamic environments. In this paper, a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (MR-SLAM) system is implemented within a...
متن کاملExtending Simultaneous Localization and Mapping to Resource Limited Micro-Aerial Vehicle Swarms
Achieving autonomy for robots involves building algorithms for the robots to localize themselves as well as map the environment around them. This problem, called Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), has received significant attention in robotics literature. Traditionally, SLAM algorithms represent maps as gigantic matrices (occupancy grids) [3]. They also make use of expensive and ener...
متن کاملA Hierachical Hybrid Method for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
In robotics literature, most of existing Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms are limited by the size and type of the environments they can handle. A few methods can cope with large scale environments. In this paper, we propose a novel hierarchical hybrid method for SLAM in large scale and cyclic environments: locally solve SLAM by Maximum Likelihood (ML) with occupancy grid ...

This work presents an artificial intelligence approach to solve the problem of finding a path and creating a map in unknown environments using Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) for a differential mobile robot along with an optimal control system. We propose the integration of these approaches (two of the most widely used ones) for the implementation of...
