Kimera-Multi: Robust, Distributed, Dense Metric-Semantic SLAM for Multi-Robot Systems

Kimera-Multi: Robust, Distributed, Dense Metric-Semantic SLAM for Multi-Robot Systems 0 Abstract This paper presents a multi-robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system named Kimera-Multi. Real-world applications require multi-robot SLAM systems to be robust, capable of identifying and rejecting erroneous inter-robot and intra-robot loop closures caused by perceptual confusion, and to rely solely on local (point-to-point) … Read more

Introducing GCSLAM: A Novel Parking SLAM Algorithm

Introducing GCSLAM: A Novel Parking SLAM Algorithm

This article presents a globally consistent semantic SLAM system (GCSLAM) and a semantic fusion localization subsystem (SF-Loc), achieving accurate semantic map construction and robust localization in complex parking environments. The system utilizes visual cameras (front and surround), IMU, and wheel speed encoders as input sensor configurations. The first part of this work is GCSLAM. GCSLAM … Read more
