Rossum -> Papers and RFC's -> Localization and Exploration


Single map update
In this test a 360 degree range sweep was taken at position 1 and the global map was updated. For all other positions only localization will be performed thus leaving the global map unaffected, the following map settings were used: That gives us a 10m x 10m map which is more than enough for the room I am testing in. The following figures show the results I've got when moving the robot through the five locations shown in the room map.


Map position : 2
Orientation : 68 degrees
Range sensor sweep : 180 degrees
Map updated : no
Calculated location : 133, 123 (33cm from Pos 1)
Location error : ~3cm (1 cell)


Map position : 5
Orientation : 76 degrees
Range sensor sweep : 180 degrees
Map updated : no
Calculated location : 123, 111 (57cm from Pos 1)
Location error : ~3cm (1 cell)


Map position : 4
Orientation : 326 degrees
Range sensor sweep : 180 degrees
Map updated : no
Calculated location : 133, 142 (75cm from Pos 1)
Location error : ~15cm (4 cells)
