Mapping and navigation on robots are now widely applied in areas such as industry, home appliances, military, exploration and automated vehicles. Mapping and navigation of robots are essential for use in closed environments that are hard to reach by humans. With the mapping and navigation on the robot can allow the robot to recognize the surrounding environment.Data from LIDAR sensors can be converted to maps of the surrounding environment and can be used as an estimate of the position of robots in a closed environment. The distance data from the LIDAR sensor and the LIDAR sensor position status data are converted into Cartesian axes and processed into local maps. Localization using LIDAR sensors are used as a reference to updating global maps.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
