Robust Local Localization of a Mobile Robot in Indoor Environments Using Virtual Corners
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of finding the movement of a mobile robot given two consecutive laser scans. The proposed method extracts a line map from the sequence of points in each laser scan, using a probabilistic approach, and then computes virtual corners between two lines in the same line map. The movement of the robot is estimated from correspondences of virtual corners between the two line maps. The combination of the probabilistic approach to find lines and the reduced number of virtual corners are the key ideas to get a simple, fast, robust to outliers, and reliable method to solve the local localization problem.

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...

Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
متن کاملRobust mobile robot map building using sonar and vision
We describe the development of a robust map acquisition method for mobile robots in indoor environments. A grid-based representation of the environment is derived from sonar sensor data, and, concurrently, corners and edges are detected and matched with visual landmarks in order to correct the robot pose estimation. We present experimental results of maps acquired using the ApriAlphaTM home robot.

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...
