Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the acf domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

uSLAM Implementation for Autonomous Underground Robot

Description

This paper presents an Underground Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (uSLAM) method to localize an autonomous underground robotic system and map its surroundings. A Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter (RBPF) with the information provided by a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system installed in the robot and odometry data is described. RBPF generates possible trajectories, where each one of them has its 3D occupancy grid map. A scan matching method based on groups of GPR measurements to improve the proposed trajectories is also described.
