Methods for estimating the pose of a 2D LIDAR sensor through scan–to–map-scan matching
Abstract
During the last decade mobile robotics has been on the rise in terms of its range of use and content of applications. Autonomous ground and aerial robots are used in warehouses for inventorying and localising products, in hospitals for decontamination purposes, in agriculture for monitoring crops and process automation, and for transporting goods or people. In all cases the self-knowledge of a vehicle’s pose in space, i.e. its position and orientation, is essential for its autonomous motion and the satisfaction of objectives of its mission. In indoor areas, where pose information transmitted via satellite is denied, or contexts where indoor measuring infrastructure is absent, the only alternative is the estimation of the pose vector, and the estimation process is undertaken by the vehicle itself, based on the sensors it is equiped with. The subject of this dissertation is autonomous ground mobile robotics in the context of the absence of pose measurements. Its main content is conserned ...
