Extending the Occupancy Grid Concept for Low-Cost Sensor Based SLAM
نویسندگان
چکیده
The simultaneous localization and mapping problem is approached by using an ultrasound sensor and wheel encoders. To account for the low precision inherent in ultrasound sensors, the occupancy grid notion is extended. The extension takes into consideration with which angle the sensor is pointing, to compensate for the issue that an object is not necessarily detectable from all positions due to deficiencies in how ultrasonic range sensors work. A mixed linear/nonlinear model is derived for future use in Rao-Blackwellized particle smoothing.

SURF-Based SLAM Scheme using Octree Occupancy Grid for Autonomous Landing on Asteroids
As space agencies are currently looking at Near Earth Asteroids as a next step on their exploration roadmap, high precision autonomous landing control schemes using passive sensors (i.e. cameras) will be required for upcoming missions. Attempting to address this need, the Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) system presented here is an online visual navigation scheme that relies on only one ca...
متن کاملRao-Blackwellized Particle Smoothing for Occupancy-Grid Based SLAM Using Low-Cost Sensors
We approach the simultaneous localization and mapping problem by using an ultrasound sensor and wheel encoders on a mobile robot. The measurements are modeled to yield a conditionally linear model for all the map states. Moreover, we implement a Rao-Blackwellized particle smoother (RBPS) for jointly estimating the position of the robot and the map. The method is applied and successfully verifie...
متن کاملA Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
متن کاملExtending Simultaneous Localization and Mapping to Resource Limited Micro-Aerial Vehicle Swarms
Achieving autonomy for robots involves building algorithms for the robots to localize themselves as well as map the environment around them. This problem, called Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), has received significant attention in robotics literature. Traditionally, SLAM algorithms represent maps as gigantic matrices (occupancy grids) [3]. They also make use of expensive and ener...
متن کاملAn Application of Omnidirectional Vision to Grid-based SLAM in Indoor Environments
In this work we study the use of an omnidirectional camera for the estimation of a consistent metric representation of an indoor scenario. The proposed approach is based on Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filters and allows the robot to use a single vision sensor for estimating an occupancy grid map of the environment. The prediction phase of the filter is performed by means of an accurate visual od...
