Robotic mapping is a discipline related to computer vision [1] and cartography.The goal for an autonomous robot is to be able to construct (or use) a map (outdoor use) or floor plan (indoor use) and to localize itself and its recharging bases or beacons in it.
Robot navigation means the robot's ability to determine its own position in its frame of reference and then to plan a path towards some goal location. In order to navigate in its environment, the robot or any other mobility device requires representation, i.e. a map of the environment and the ability to interpret that representation.
MAP estimators compute the most likely explanation of the robot poses and the map given the sensor data, rather than trying to estimate the entire posterior probability. New SLAM algorithms remain an active research area, [6] and are often driven by differing requirements and assumptions about the types of maps, sensors and models as detailed ...
Boston Dynamic’s “Spot” is an autonomous robot that uses four sensors and allows the robot to map where it is relative to its surroundings. The navigational method is called simultaneous localization and mapping, or “SLAM” for short. Spot has several operating modes and depending on the obstacles in front of the robot, it has the ...
Robot programming – Robotic mapping – the goal for an autonomous robot to be able to construct (or use ) a map or floor plan and to localize itself in it; Robotic surgery – computer-assisted surgery, and robotically-assisted surgery are terms for technological developments that use robotic systems to aid in surgical procedures.
Occupancy Grid Mapping refers to a family of computer algorithms in probabilistic robotics for mobile robots which address the problem of generating maps from noisy and uncertain sensor measurement data, with the assumption that the robot pose is known. Occupancy grids were first proposed by H. Moravec and A. Elfes in 1985.
With home prices still on the rise in every region of the U.S., 63% of homeowners say they'd rather remodel their homes than move to renovated homes, according to an October survey by Clever Real...
Before a robot is able to navigate a map it needs a plan. [4] The plan is a trajectory from start to goal and describes, for each moment in time and each position in the map, the robot's next action. Path planning is solved by many different algorithms, which can be categorised as sampling-based and heuristics-based approaches.
