Title
A Basic Consideration on Estimation of Robot Positions by Observing Unknown Environment
Abstract
This paper presents a method which reduces uncertainty of a position and a direction of an autonomous robot by observing environment with a camera. In the proposed method, the state of the robot is represented by a state vec- tor obeying a probability distribution. The robot creates and renews an environment map by considering the infor- mation from the mounted camera. Moreover, the robot revises the probability distribution on its state by compar- ing the map and the information from the camera. This attempt at avoiding the inconsistency in the map reduces the uncertainty of the state of the robot. We present ex- perimental results to show the possibility of this method. is revised according to the newly obtained edge locations. The uncertainty of the state vector is reduced by th~s ob- servation of the environment. We present some experimental results to show the possibility of the proposed method.
