Probabilistic occupancy grid map building for Neobotix MP500 robot

摘要

In vehicle and robot navigation low-level tasks such as path planning, obstacle avoidance and autonomous operation are extensively studied nowadays. Most of these task require map building. In this paper a map representation is discussed with the focus for the singular domain of our Neobotix MP500 mobile robot. Among others the state of the art map building techniques will be introduced such as topological map, line map, landmark-based map and of course in more detail the occupancy grid based map. The probabilistic representation of the occupancy grid will be examined as a map building problem for the given mobile robot.
