Towards a Cloud Robotics Platform for Distributed Visual SLAM
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cloud computing allows robots to offload computation and share information as well as skills. Visual SLAM is one of the intensively computational tasks for mobile robots. It can benefit from the cloud. In this paper, we propose a novel cloud robotics platform named RSE-PF for distributed visual SLAM with close attention to the infrastructure of the cloud. We implement it with Amazon Web Services and OpenResty. We demonstrate the feasibility, robustness, and elasticity of the proposed platform with a use case of perspective-n-point solution. In this use case, the average round-trip delay is 153ms, which meets the near real-time requirement of mobile robots.

A review on cloud robotics based frameworks to solve simultaneous localization and mapping (slam) problem
Cloud Robotics is one of the emerging area of robotics. It has created a lot of attention due to its direct practical implications on Robotics. In Cloud Robotics, the concept of cloud computing is used to offload computational extensive jobs of the robots to the cloud. Apart from this, additional functionalities can also be offered on run to the robots on demand. Simultaneous Localization and M...
متن کاملC2TAM: A Cloud framework for cooperative tracking and mapping
The Simultaneous Localization And Mapping by an autonomous mobile robot –known by its acronym SLAM– is a computationally demanding process for medium and large-scale scenarios, in spite of the progress both in the algorithmic and hardware sides. As a consequence, a robot with SLAM capabilities has to be equipped with the latest computers whose weight and power consumption might limit its autono...
متن کاملStudying Phenotypic Variability in Crops using a Hand-held Sensor Platform
Recent developments in visual-inertial and LiDAR sensors and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) enable recording and digital reconstruction of the physical world. In this paper we utilize a hand-held multi-sensor platform for remotely recording and characterizing physical properties of crops on a field. The platform consists of a visual-inertial sensor, color camera and 2D LiDAR. We s...
متن کاملTopomap: Topological Mapping and Navigation Based on Visual SLAM Maps
Visual robot navigation within large-scale, semistructured environments deals with various challenges such as computation intensive path planning algorithms or insufficient knowledge about traversable spaces. Moreover, many stateof-the-art navigation approaches only operate locally instead of gaining a more conceptual understanding of the planning objective. This limits the complexity of tasks ...
متن کاملReal-time Stereo Visual SLAM
Simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) has been the focus of intensive research in the last decade due to the potential benefits it offers to the field of autonomous mobile robotics. SLAM is concerned with the ability of an autonomous vehicle to navigate through an unexplored environment and incrementally construct a map of the environment and localise itself within this map. This thesis ...
