project: “Robotic Power Optimisaton for
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in a Dynamic Environment – POSLAM” The aim of POSLAM is to build a
map of an environment, an optimised power/energy mission route and locate the
robot in the map at the same time. It is a chicken-and-egg problem because
the robot needs a map to locate itself and the map needs the localization of
the robot to build a consistent map. Eventually, errors in robot and map
states affect each other. The mission route consists of path taken and
possible paths in a dynamic environment of moving objects for optimising
power and energy usage. |
