Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems 4
Preserved Fulltext
This paper describes a landmark-based algorithm for map matching, and demonstrates its use in e ciently combining topological maps of indoor environments built by autonomous mobile robots. ...
Using the match algorithm, they eventually merge their maps into a topologically correct single map in real time, based only on the feature sets they have discovered independently. ...
Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank Kale Harbick for hardware and operating system support, and Richard Vaughan for helping with demonstrations. ...
