Mobile robot localization with sparse landmarks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a mobile robot system designed to explore and map an area such as is encountered in urban search and rescue simulations. The robot uses homogeneous artificial landmarks for localization as it builds metric and topological maps, determining landmark distance and bearing with groundplane calculations from a single camera and using Kalman filtering techniques to perform localization. When implemented on a Magellan II mobile robot, the localization technique correctly localized the robot while exploring and mapping.

Effects of Moving Landmark’s Speed on Multi-Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Dynamic Environments
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...
متن کاملLaser-Based Localization with Sparse Landmarks
Self-localization in dynamic environments is a central problem in mobile robotics and is well studied in the literature. One of the most popular methods is the Monte Carlo Localization algorithm (MCL). Many deployed systems use MCL together with a laser range finder in well structured indoor environments like office buildings with a rather rich collection of landmarks. In symmetric environments...
متن کاملD-SLAM: Decoupled Localization and Mapping for Autonomous Robots
The main contribution of this paper is the reformulation of the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem for mobile robots such that the mapping and localization can be treated as two concurrent yet separated processes: D-SLAM (decoupled SLAM). It is shown that SLAM can be decoupled into solving a non-linear static estimation problem for mapping and a low-dimensional dynamic estimat...
متن کاملMobile Robot Localization and Mapping with Uncertainty using Scale-Invariant Visual Landmarks
A key component of a mobile robot system is the ability to localize itself accurately and simultaneously build a map of the environment. Most of the existing algorithms are based on laser range finders, sonar sensors or artificial landmarks. In this paper, a vision-based mobile robot localization and mapping algorithm is described which uses scale-invariant image features as natural landmarks i...
متن کاملLocalization Using Magnetic Patterns for Autonomous Mobile Robot
In this paper, we present a method of localization using magnetic landmarks. With this method, it is possible to compensate the pose error (xe, ye, θe) of a mobile robot correctly and localize its current position on a global coordinate system on the surface of a structured environment with magnetic landmarks. A set of four magnetic bars forms total six different patterns of landmarks and these...
