An information-based criterion for efficient robot map building
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the theoretical aspects and a preliminary experimental validation of a criterion for determining the best observation positions for robot map building, intended as a particular environmental measurement task. The proposed criterion takes into account both the distance travelled and the information gathered by the robot.

A New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion
This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
متن کاملMap-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...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm for Workspace Generation of Delta Robot
Dimensional synthesis of a parallel robot may be the initial stage of its design process, which is usually carried out based on a required workspace. Since optimization of the links lengths of the robot for the workspace is usually done, the workspace computation process must be run numerous times. Hence, importance of the efficiency of the algorithm and the CPU time of the workspace computatio...
متن کاملDependence maximization localization: a novel approach to 2D street-map-based robot localization
Recently, localization methods based on detailed maps constructed using simultaneous localization and mapping has been widely used for mobile robot navigation. However, the cost of building such maps increases rapidly with expansion of the target environment. Here, we consider the problem of localization of a mobile robot based on existing 2D street maps. Although a large amount of research on ...
متن کاملBuilding Volumetric Maps with Cooperative Mobile Robots and Useful Information Sharing: a Distributed Control Approach based on Entropy
This thesis addresses the problem of how to share efficiently information within a robotic system comprised of several mobile robots, which are programmed to exhibit cooperative behavior in the context of building volumetric maps of unknown environments. More specifically, it addresses the following issues: representing a probabilistic map and improving it through efficient exploration, based o...
