Continuous Probabilistic Mapping by Autonomous Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a new approach for continuous probabilistic mapping. The objective is to build metric maps of unknown environments through cooperation between multiple autonomous mobile robots. The approach is based on a Bayesian update rule that can be used to integrate the range sensing data coming from multiple sensors on multiple robots. In addition, the algorithm is fast and computationally inexpensive so that it can be implemented on small robots with limited computation resources. The paper describes the algorithm and illustrates it with experiments in simulation and on real robots.

Probabilistic Localization and Mapping for Mobile Robots
The ability of a mobile robot to localize itself in the environment is a prerequisite for autonomous navigation.This is accomplished by using different sensors. Unfortunately all sensors’ measurements are noisy and suffer from errors. Thus it is essential to combine several sensors to reduce the errors and also compensate for the shortcomings of individual sensors by means of multi-sensor fusio...
متن کاملAre Autonomous Mobile Robots Able to Take Over Construction? A Review
Although construction has been known as a highly complex application field for autonomous robotic systems, recent advances in this field offer great hope for using robotic capabilities to develop automated construction. Today, space research agencies seek to build infrastructures without human intervention, and construction companies look to robots with the potential to improve construction qua...
متن کاملPath Based Mapping Technique for Robots
The purpose of this paper is to explore a new way of autonomous mapping. Current systems using perception techniques like LAZER or SONAR use probabilistic methods and have a drawback of allowing considerable uncertainty in the mapping process. Our approach is to break down the environment, specifically indoor, into reachable areas and objects, separated by boundaries, and identifying their shap...
متن کاملThe Probabilistic Analysis of the Communication Network created by Dynamic Boundary Coverage
1.1. Background. We address the problem of achieving boundary coverage with a swarm of autonomous robots. In this task, a group of robots must allocate themselves around the boundary of a region or object according to a desired configuration or density. We specifically consider problems of dynamic boundary coverage, in which robots asynchronously join a boundary and later leave it to recharge o...
متن کاملMultiple Sensor Indoor Mapping Using a Mobile Robot
Introduction Mapping – the ability for a robot to observe and build a representation of its environment – is a critical task for mobile robots. Indeed, mapping is a necessary component of autonomous navigation, in addition to perception and localization. Mapping is achieved by measuring the environment with sensors, such as laser, sonar, or visual-based techniques, and using probabilistic model...
