Embodiment Construction

[0035] The present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments of the disclosure are shown. These embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these examples are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0036] refer to figure 1 , which illustrates a flowchart of a pose initialization method 100 for a mobile robot according to an embodiment of the present invention. Mobile robots include laser scanners.

[0037] At step S110 , using a laser scanner, a global map of the environment in which the mobile robot is navigating is created using a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technique (hereinafter also referred to as laser SLAM technique). The pose of the mobile robot in the navigation environ...

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to a determination method and apparatus for the position and orientation of a mobile robot. The method comprises the following steps: in virtue of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology, establishing a global map of an environment where the mobile robot plays a navigation role by using a laser scanner; when the mobile robot is energized, establishing a local map of an environment in the energization moment of the mobile robot by using a laser scanner in virtue of SLAM technology; and subjecting the local map to image matching in the global map so as to obtain the initial position and orientation of the mobile robot in the global map. According to the embodiments of the invention, the absolute position and orientation of the mobile robot in the global map in the moment the mobile robot is energized and started can be obtained, thereby realizing initialization of the position and orientation of the mobile robot; moreover, determined position and orientation of the mobile robot can be further corrected.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a pose determination method in mobile robot navigation, especially a pose initialization method based on a laser scanner, and a pose correction method. Background technique [0002] At present, all navigation strategies, whether outdoor or indoor navigation, must solve the pose initialization problem when the mobile robot is powered on and started. The accuracy of the initial pose affects the accuracy and stability of the subsequent navigation. Due to the maturity of the current global positioning system (GPS), the absolute pose based on the earth coordinate system can be obtained outdoors at all times, so the power-on pose initialization has been well solved outdoors. But in the field of indoor navigation, it is still immature. [0003] Inertial navigation and positioning technology and laser navigation and positioning technology are two kinds of relatively mature indoor navigation and positioning method...
