  3. Motivation

  4. Introduction • Much research has been done to perform localization under normal/ideal conditions • Classical sensors fail to provide reliable results under non-ideal scenarios • Alternative methods such as range-only sensors have not received enough attention in the research field

  5. Outline • Introduction • Range-Only Sensor • Localization • SLAM • Future Work

  6. Landmark Robot Range & Bearing Sensors • Errors in estimation of robot location and landmark locations are represented as ellipses. • Each landmark ellipse contains the error of both the robot’s current error and the error within the sensors.

  7. Landmark Robot Range-Only Sensors • We are provided with an annulus instead of an ellipse. • Extending classical approaches to localization requires additional considerations.

  15. Kalman Filter • Advantages: • Computationally Efficient • Able to handle high dimensionality with limited or no extra computational cost • Handles short periods of sensor silence • Disadvantages: • Able to represent only Gaussian distributions • Assumptions are too restrictive

  17. 1 . σ√2π ^ -(r – rm)2 2σ Particle Filter • Representing belief by sets of samples or particles • Each particle is represented as (xp, yp), (orientation is not maintained) • Updating procedure is a sequential importance sampling approach with re-sampling • Sampling – Standard Gaussian Formula: • P(x|rm) = e( ) • Where rm is the measured range and r is the range estimate from the particle to beacon ^

  18. Particle Filter • Advantages: • Able to represent arbitrary density • Converging to true posterior even for non-Gaussian and nonlinear system • Efficient in the sense that particles tend to focus on regions with high probability • Disadvantages: • Worst-case complexity grows exponentially in the dimensions

  21. Dead Reckoning – Results

  22. Kalman Filter – Results

  23. Particle Filter – Results

  24. Outline • Introduction • Range-Only Sensor • Localization • SLAM • Batch Slam • Kalman Filter • Results • Future Work

  25. SLAM • Beacon Locations are unknown • Measurements are used to predict beacon locations • Due to errors in measurements, not all measurements can be weighed equally • Consistency between inliers help provide a reliable estimates

  26. Outline • Introduction • Range-Only Sensor • Localization • SLAM • Batch Slam • Kalman Filter • Results • Future Work

  27. Batch Slam • Approaches the SLAM problem by solving two non-linear optimization problems: • One to generate the initial estimate of the beacon locations • One to simultaneously refine the vehicle and beacon estimates • Estimated Beacon locations are feed to the Kalman filter localization algorithm

  28. Batch Slam • Initializing the Beacons • Assumes robot’s odometry is perfect • Using the range measurements predicts the most likely beacon estimates • Estimates are acquired by minimizing the cost function: and, • Refining estimates • Assumes error distributions of each measurement is independent • Most likely beacon positions and vehicle relative motion can be found by minimizing the cost function:

  29. Batch Slam • Advantages: • Produces accurate estimates of beacon locations • Requires very little data to acquire good results • Disadvantages: • Computationally Expensive • Requires fairly accurate dead reckoning data to acquire its initial beacon estimate

  30. Outline • Introduction • Range-Only Sensor • Localization • SLAM • Batch Slam • Kalman Filter • Results • Future Work

  31. Beacon Initialization • Find all pair wise intersections of a set of range measurements • Create a histogram grid with the circle intersections • Find the first two peaks on the grid • When the ratio between the peaks reaches a threshold (set to ‘2’), declare the higher of the peaks as the beacon location

  32. Beacon Initialization

  33. Kalman Filter SLAM • Kalman filter localization algorithm can be easily extended for SLAM • The state vector becomes: • qk = [xr, yr, θk, xb1, yb1, … , xbn, ybn]T • As new beacons are initialized, expand the state vector and covariance matrix to the correct dimension • q ~ 2n+3 • P ~ 2n+3 square • where n is the number of initialized beacons

  34. Kalman Filter SLAM • Advantages: • Similar to Kalman Filter Localization • Settles to locally accurate solution • Disadvantages: • Wrong Beacon Initialization could lead to diverged solution
