3.3.2 Map registration

Course subject(s) Module 3. Autonomous Navigation

Now we know a few different localization methods, we will be applying them to a hypothetical robot. What procedures can a robot use in order to localize itself in a map?

  • Sometimes global localization methods can not give accurate enough results to localize a robot in a map.
  • Local sensor readings can give accurate positioning with respect to obstacles in the map, but there may be multiple places on the map that look the same.
  • Location can be narrowed down by estimating a range of positions a robot is likely to be by tracking how much the robot moves and by taking many measurements.
