This study propose the use of heterogeneous visual landmarks, points and line segments, to achieve effective cooperation in indoor SLAM environments. In order to achieve un-delayed initialization required by the bearing-only observations, the well-known inverse-depth parameterization is adopted to estimate 3D points. Similarly, to estimate 3D line segments, we present a novel parameterization based on anchored Plücker coordinates, to which extensible endpoints are added

Skid steer tracked-based robots are popular due to their mechanical simplicity, zero-turning radius and greater traction. This architecture also has several advantages when employed by mobile platforms designed to climb and navigate ferrous surfaces, such as increased magnet density and low profile (center of gravity). However, creating a kinematic model for localization and motion control of this architecture is complicated due to the fact that tracks necessarily slip and do not roll. Such a model could be based on a heuristic representation, an experimentally-based characterization or a probabilistic form. This paper will extend an experimentally-based kinematic equivalence model to a climbing, track-based robot platform. The model will be adapted to account for the unique mobility characteristics associated with climbing. The accuracy of the model will be evaluated in several representative tasks. Application of this model to a climbing mobile robotic welding system (MRWS) is presented.
