Simultaneous localization and odometry calibration for mobile robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents both the theory and the first experimental results of a new method which allows simultaneously estimating of the robot configuration and the odometry error (both systematic and non-systematic) during the mobile robot navigation. The estimation of the non-systematic components is carried out through an augmented Kalman filter which estimates a state containing the robot configuration and the parameters characterizing the systematic component of the odometry error. It uses encoder readings as inputs and the readings from a laser range finder as observations. The estimation of the non-systematic component is carried out through another Kalman filter where the observations are obtained by two subsequent robot configurations provided by the previous augmented Kalman filter.

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 کاملReduction of Odometry Error in a two Wheeled Differential Drive Robot (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Pose estimation is one of the vital issues in mobile robot navigation. Odometry data can be fused with absolute position measurements to provide better and more reliable pose estimation. This paper deals with the determination of better relative localization of a two wheeled differential drive robot by means of odometry by considering the influence of parameters namely weight, velocity, wheel p...
متن کاملA Deterministic Filter for Simultaneous Localization and Odometry Calibration of Differential-Drive Mobile Robots
Local reconstruction of differential-drive mobile robots position and orientation is made possible with an accurate odometry calibration. Starting from the encoders readings, and assuming an absolute measurement available, a deterministic filter to localize the vehicle while estimating a proper set of odometric parameters is proposed. A stability analysis guarantees that the position and orient...
متن کاملAlonzo Kelly Linearized Error Propagation in Odometry
The related fields of mobile robotics and ground vehicle localization lack a linearized theory of odometry error propagation. By contrast, the equivalent Schuler dynamics which apply to inertial guidance have been known and exploited for decades. In this paper, the general solution of linearized propagation dynamics of both systematic and random errors for vehicle odometry is developed and vali...
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...
