Maps --- specifically floor plans --- are useful for a variety of tasks from arranging furniture to designating conceptual or functional spaces (e.g., kitchen, walkway). We present a simple algorithm for quickly laying a floor plan (or other conceptual map) onto a SLAM map, creating a one-to-one mapping between them. Our goal was to enable using a floor plan (or other hand-drawn or annotated map) in robotic applications instead of the typical SLAM map created by the robot. We look at two use cases, specifying no-go regions within a room and locating objects within a scanned room. Although a user study showed no statistical difference between the two types of maps in terms of performance on this spatial memory task, we argue that floor plans are closer to the mental maps people would naturally draw to characterize spaces. |
