Abstract  

A fuzzy evaluation based approach was proposed to solve the exploring problem for autonomous robotic mapping in unknown environment to deal with the fuzziness and uncertainty of unknown environmental information. The approach classified the frontiers which were between the known and unknown areas of grid map according to their distance and feasibility, and then chose the points with higher priority as candidates. Distances between the candidate points and current position, information gains and localizability were evaluated in fuzzy rules. The selection of the next observing pose or a series of next poses in path was achieved in low computational cost with the fuzzy evaluation. Then the exploration was finished, and the grid map and the feature map were accurately constructed. Experimental results demonstrate that the approach can improve the efficiency of exploring and achieve high performance in real-time planning.

基于模糊评价的未知环境地图构建探测规划

针对未知环境信息的模糊性和不确定性,提出基于模糊综合评价决策的机器人未知环境地图构建自主探测规划方法.该方法将栅格图中的介于已知区域和未知区域边缘的前沿点按距离和可行性进行分类,选取优先级较高的类别中的点作为候选点.根据候选点与当前位置的距离、信息增益和可定位性进行模糊综合评价,以较小的计算代价决定机器人下一步的探测位姿或者某一段路径上的一系列探测位姿,从而完成对未知区域的探测,构建出准确度高的环境栅格图和特征线段图.仿真实验结果表明,该方法提高了自主探测效率,并具有很高的实时性.
