Representation of Odometry Errors on Occupancy Grids

چکیده
In this work we propose an enhanced model for mapping from sonar sensors and odometry that allows a robot to represent an environment map in a more suitable way to both the sonar sensory data and odometry system of the robot. We use a stochastic modelling of the errors that brings up reliable information. As a contribution, we obtain a final map that is more coherent with the reality of the original data provided by the robotic system. Practical experiments show the results obtained with the proposed modification to be trustable in such a way that this map can be used to provide previous knowledge to the mobile robot in order to perform its tasks in an easier and accurate way. Moreover, the map can help the robot to support unexpected situations inside of the environment

Continuous Localization Using Evidence Grids
Evidence grids provide a uniform representation fo r fusing temporally and spatially distinct sensor readings. However, the use of evidence grids requires that the robot be localizeo! within its environment. Odometry errors typically accumulate over time, making localization estimates degrade, and introducing significant errors into evidence grads as they are built. W e have addressed this prob...
متن کاملObstacle avoidance for a non-holonomic vehicle using occupancy grids
In this paper, we outline the strategy used for obstacle avoidance on our small, non-holonomic test vehicle, the Autonomous Tractor. This strategy relies on the fusion of data from a stereo camera, a scanning laser range-finder and the vehicle odometry to create occupancy grids which describe the traversability of the terrain in the current vicinity of the vehicle. Knowledge of the vehicle’s ki...
متن کاملFast classification of static and dynamic environment for Bayesian Occupancy Filter (BOF)
In this paper we present a fast motion detection technique based on laser data and odometry/imu information. This technique instead of performing a complete SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) solution, is based on transferring occupancy information between two consecutive data grids. We plan to use the output of this work for Bayesian Occupancy Filter (BOF) framework to reduce process...
متن کاملA 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 ...
متن کاملImproved On-Line Pose Estimation for Mobile Robots by Fusion of Odometry Information and Environment Map
A new method for on-line pose estimation in mobile robotics applications is presented in this paper. Using the information provided by the wheel encoders usually is accompanied with additive systematic and nonsystematic errors. Much effort has been done to overcome this problem. In the proposed approach, it is assumed that the robot is making an occupancy grids map of the environment during exp...
