3 Inroducion Do we need o localize or no? To go from A o B, does he robo need o know where i is? Localizaion I

4 Inroducion Do we need o localize or no? How o navigae beween A and B navigaion wihou hiing obsacles deecion of goal locaion Possible by following always he lef wall However, how o deec ha he goal is reached Localizaion I

5 Inroducion Do we need o localize or no? Following he lef wall is an example of behavior based navigaion I can work in some environmens bu no in all Wih which accuracy and reliabiliy do we reach he goal? Localizaion I

6 Inroducion Do we need o localize or no? As opposed o behavior based navigaion is map based navigaion Assuming ha he map is known, a every ime sep he robo has o know where i is. How? If we know he sar posiion, we can use wheel odomery or dead reckoning. Is his enough? Wha else can we use? Bu how do we represen he map for he robo? And how do we represen he posiion of he robo in he map? Localizaion I

7 Inroducion Definiions Global localizaion The robo is no old is iniial posiion Is posiion mus be esimaed from scrach Posiion Tracking A robo knows is iniial posiion and only has o accommodae small errors in is odomery as i moves? Localizaion I

8 Inroducion How o localize? Localizaion based on exernal sensors, beacons or landmarks Odomery Map Based Localizaion - wihou exernal sensors or arificial landmarks, jus use robo onboard sensors Example: Probabilisic Map Based Localizaion Localizaion I

9 Inroducion Beacon Based Localizaion Triangulaion Ex 1: Poles wih highly reflecive surface and a laser for deecing hem Ex 2: Coloured beacons and an omnidirecional camera for deecing hem (example: RoboCup or auonomous robos in ennis fields) Localizaion I

Precision bound by resoluion of discreisaion Typically muliple hypohesis pose esimae Never los (when diverges converges o anoher cell) Imporan memory and processing power needed. (no he case for opological maps) Localizaion I

20 Odomery ASL Auonomous Sysems Lab Definiion Dead reckoning (also deduced reckoning or odomery) is he process of calculaing vehicle's curren posiion by using a previously deermined posiion and esimaed speeds over he elapsed ime Robo moion is recovered by inegraing propriocepive sensor velociies readings Pros: Sraighforward Cons: Errors are inegraed -> unbound Heading sensors (e.g., gyroscope) help o reduce he accumulaed errors bu drif remains Localizaion I

27 Odomery Error sources Deerminisic (Sysemaic) Non-Deerminisic (Non-Sysemaic) Deerminisic errors can be eliminaed by proper calibraion of he sysem. Non-Deerminisic errors are random errors. They have o be described by error models and will always lead o uncerain posiion esimae. Major Error Sources in Odomery: Limied resoluion during inegraion (ime incremens, measuremen resoluion) Misalignmen of he wheels (deerminisic) Unequal wheel diameer (deerminisic) Variaion in he conac poin of he wheel (non deerminisic) Unequal floor conac (slippage, non planar ) (non deerminisic) Localizaion I
