Abstract:
Mapping and localization using laser scanner are available in ROS. We intend
to use these tools to build map of the environment and then use it for robot
path planning in future. The experiments will be done on real time robot
and sensors i.e. Pioneer P3-DX and SICK LMS-500. To do Mapping and
Localization we need to thoroughly explore the environment. Manual explo ration is already available in ROS, we are intended to build an automatic
exploration node over ROS and the developed solution will be equipped with
obstacle avoidance mechanism to cater for dynamic obstacles encountered
during run-time.
