New System

The goal of this paper is to improve our previous Dynamic Obstacle Mapping (DOMap) system by means of improving the perception stage. The new system must deal with robots and people as dynamic obstacles using LIght Detection And Range (LIDAR) sensor in order to collect the surrounding information. Although robot movement can be easily tracked by an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), people’s movement is more unpredictable and it might not be correctly linearized by an EKF. Therefore, to deal with a better estimation of both types of dynamic objects in the local map it is recommended to improve our previous work. The DOMap has been extended in three key points: first the LIDAR reflectivity remission is used to make more robust the matching in the optical flow of the detection stage, secondly static and a dynamic occlusion detectors have been proposed, and finally a tracking stage based on Particle Filter (PF) has been used to deal with robots and people as dynamic obstacles. Therefore, our new improved-DOMap (iDOMap) provides maps with information about occupancy and velocities of the surrounding dynamic obstacles (robots, people, etc.) in a more robust way and they are available to improve the following planning stage.

Importance Resampling

The phenomenon of simple harmonic motion is more vigilantly explained using a simple pendulum. The angular motion of a pendulum is linear in nature. But the analysis of the motion along the horizontal direction is non-linear. To estimate this, several algorithms like the Kalman filter, Extended Kalman Filter etc. are adopted. Here in this paper, Particle filter is chosen which is a method to form Monte Carlo approximations to the solutions of Bayesian filtering equations. Sequential importance resampling based Particle filters are used where the filtering distributions are multi-nodal or consist of discrete state components since under these circumstances the Bayesian approximations do not always work well.

Standard Normal

Nonlinear filtering is of great significance in industries. In this work, we develop a new linear regression Kalman filter for discrete nonlinear filtering problems. Under the framework of linear regression Kalman filter, the key step is minimizing the Kullback–Leibler divergence between standard normal distribution and its Dirac mixture approximation formed by symmetric samples so that we can obtain a set of samples which can capture the information of reference density. The samples representing the conditional densities evolve in a deterministic way, and therefore we need less samples compared with particle filter, as there is less variance in our method. The numerical results show that the new algorithm is more efficient compared with the widely used extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filter and particle filter.

Mobile Robot Localization

Mobile robot localization has attracted substantial consideration from the scientists during the last two decades. Mobile robot localization is the basics of successful navigation in a mobile network. Localization plays a key role to attain a high accuracy in mobile robot localization and robustness in vehicular localization. For this purpose, a mobile robot localization technique is evaluated to accomplish a high accuracy. This paper provides the performance evaluation of three localization techniques named Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), and Particle Filter (PF). In this work, three localization techniques are proposed. The performance of these three localization techniques is evaluated and analyzed while considering various aspects of localization. These aspects include localization coverage, time consumption, and velocity. The abovementioned localization techniques present a good accuracy and sound performance compared to other techniques.
