چکیده

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 verified by experiments on a small Lego robot where ground truth was obtained by the use of a VICON real-time positioning system. The results show that the RBPS contributes with more robust estimates at the cost of computational complexity and memory usage.

Extending the Occupancy Grid Concept for Low-Cost Sensor Based SLAM

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 ...

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...

Look-ahead Proposals for Robust Grid-based SLAM with Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filters

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is one of the classical problems in mobile robotics. The task is to build a map of the environment using on-board sensors while at the same time localizing the robot relative to this map. Rao-Blackwellized particle filters have emerged as a powerful technique for solving the SLAM problem in a wide variety of environments. It is a well-known fact for ...

Memory-Efficient Gridmaps in Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filters for SLAM using Sonar Range Sensors

Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) has been an important field of research in the robotics community in recent years. A successful class of SLAM algorithms are Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filters (RBPF), where the particles approximate the pose belief distribution, while each particle contains a separate map. So far, RBPF with landmark based environment representations as well as gridm...

Gamma-SLAM: Stereo Visual SLAM in Unstructured Environments Using Variance Grid Maps

We introduce a new method for stereo visual SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) that works in unstructured, outdoor environments. Observations use dense stereo vision to measure the variance of the heights in each cell of a 2D grid. Unlike other grid-based SLAM algorithms, which use occupancy grid maps, our algorithm uses a new mapping technique that maintains a posterior distribution ...
