Moving Horizon Estimation SLAM for agile vehicles in 3-D environments
Publication . Sousa, Daniel Matias de; Guerreiro, Bruno
The ability for a robot to be able to construct a map of the environment and recognize its
position on it was one of the biggest developments in robotics. It gives them the possibility
of being autonomous and safe, while creating new deployment opportunities where they
were previously not feasible nor skillful enough to operate. The Simultaneous Localization
and Mapping framework builds onto the perception of the robot, giving it the possibility
to online calculate its trajectory and avoid obstacles. Because of it, there is now a large
range of scenarios where robots can be used, ranging from a ship on open waters to a
ground vehicle on mars. Moreover, the continuous development of processing units has
given the possibility for previously hardware exhausting solutions to be used as an option
for the localization and mapping problem.
With this in mind, the dissertation work is focused on developing a Simultaneous
Localization and Mapping (SLAM) solution for a 6 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) vehicle
operating on a 3D environment using Moving Horizon Estimation (MHE). Throughout
the document it is presented relevant concepts to the modelling of 6 DoF vehicles as
well as other approaches to the SLAM problem. It is also tested the applicability of the
proposed solution, based on MHE, in a simulation environment of a 3D square-shaped
corridor with stationary landmarks, whilst comparing the obtained results with other
probabilistic approaches, the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), which is commonly used
but loses stability on extremely nonlinear dynamics, and the Linear Kalman Filter (LKF)
sensor-based, which can also deal with the non-linearities of the system by characterizing
it on the sensors frame. Each of the algorithms is simulated in MATLAB and their
performance was compared considering two different Scenarios.
