3-D Map Building in Dynamic Environments by a Mobile Robot Equipped with Two Laser Range Finders

چکیده
When an autonomous mobile robot acts in constructed environments, a map that has the information about obstacles is necessary for the mobile robot. Even if a map is given, however, the mobile robot cannot start its action without the information of its present location on the map. Therefore, techniques of map generation and self-localization are important for mobile robots. In this paper, we propose 3-D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) method by a mobile robot equipped with two LRFs (Laser Range Finders). The robot measures the distance between obstacles around it with LRFs at multiple positions, and generates a map by integrating these range information. The integration is realized by using an odometry (dead-reckoning method) and ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm. Experimental results have shown the validity of the proposed method.

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 ...

متن کاملMap-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...
متن کاملA Real-Time Algorithm for Mobile Robot Mapping With Applications to Multi-Robot and 3D Mapping
We present an incremental method for concurrent mapping and localization for mobile robots equipped with 2D laser range finders. The approach uses a fast implementation of scan-matching for mapping, paired with a sample-based probabilistic method for localization. Compact 3D maps are generated using a multi-resolution approach adopted from the computer graphics literature, fed by data from a du...
متن کاملA system for volumetric robotic mapping of abandoned mines
This paper describes two robotic systems developed for acquiring accurate volumetric maps of underground mines. One system is based on a cart instrumented by laser range finders, pushed through a mine by people. Another is a remotely controlled mobile robot equipped with laser range finders. To build consistent maps of large mines with many cycles, we describe an algorithm for estimating global...
