Mutual Localization and 3D Mapping by Cooperative Mobile Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the development of a 3D laser scanner and an approach to 3D mapping and localization. The 3D scanner consists of a standard 2D laser scanner and a rotating mirror assembly. Employing multiple robots and mutual localization local 3D maps are built. Global localization within the maps is performed by extracting a cross-section of the map just below the ceiling and then using an exhaustive search algorithm to enable the merger of multiple local 3D maps. The quality of these maps is such that the poses estimated by this method are accurate to within 0.1m and 1 degree.

Map-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...

In robotic applications and especially 3D map generation of indoor environments, analyzing RGB-D images have become a key problem. The mapping problem is one of the most important problems in creating autonomous mobile robots. Autonomous mobile robots are used in mine excavation, rescue missions in collapsed buildings and even planets’ exploration. Furthermore, indoor mapping is beneficial in f...
متن کاملMulti Robotic Conflict Resolution by Cooperative Velocity and Direction Control
Collision avoidance is one of the essential pillars of a wheeled robotic system. A wheeled mobile robot (called mobile robot for conciseness henceforth) requires for effective functioning an integrated system of modules for (i) map building, (ii) localization, (iii) exploration, (iv) planning and (v) collision avoidance. Often (i) and (ii) are entailed to be done simultaneously by robots result...
متن کاملCooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...
متن کاملVision-based Mapping with Cooperative Robots∗
Two stereo-vision-based mobile robots navigate and autonomously explore their environment safely while building occupancy grid maps of the environment. The robots maintain position estimates within a global coordinate frame using landmark recognition. This allows them to build a common map by sharing position information and stereo data. Stereo vision processing and map updates are done at 3Hz ...
