Improvement of Robot's Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Using an Effective Transformation to Achieve Linear Model
arXiv:2606.28475v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Nowadays mobile robots have wide engineering applications. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is an important task of these robots. The major and common algorithms used for this task are based on extended Kalman filter (EKF). One of the main problems in EKF-based SLAM is its divergence. The nonlinearity of motion and observation models and linearization error are the main reasons for the divergence. There have been some efforts to address this problem with limited success. In this paper, by applying a simple compass and using an effec
Ongoing research in robotics continuously seeks to overcome fundamental limitations like SLAM divergence, and papers like this signal incremental but vital progress.
Improved SLAM is crucial for more robust, reliable, and autonomous mobile robots, expanding their applications and reducing operational complexities in dynamic environments.
The proposed method could lead to more stable and accurate robot navigation, reducing the need for frequent human intervention and allowing for deployment in more challenging settings.
