LiDAR Robot Navigation
LiDAR robot navigation is a complicated combination of mapping, localization and path planning. This article will explain these concepts and demonstrate how they function together with an easy example of the robot reaching a goal in a row of crop.
LiDAR sensors are low-power devices that can extend the battery life of robots and reduce the amount of raw data needed for localization algorithms. This enables more variations of the SLAM algorithm without overheating the GPU.
LiDAR Sensors
The sensor is at the center of the Lidar system. It emits laser pulses into the surrounding. These pulses bounce off the surrounding objects in different angles, based on their composition. The sensor monitors the time it takes for each pulse to return and uses that information to calculate distances. Sensors are mounted on rotating platforms, which allow them to scan the surrounding area quickly and at high speeds (10000 samples per second).
LiDAR sensors can be classified based on whether they're designed for airborne application or terrestrial application. Airborne lidar systems are usually mounted on aircrafts, helicopters, or UAVs. (UAVs). Terrestrial LiDAR is usually mounted on a stationary robot platform.
To accurately measure distances, the sensor must be able to determine the exact location of the robot. This information is captured by a combination of an inertial measurement unit (IMU), GPS and time-keeping electronic. LiDAR systems use these sensors to compute the precise location of the sensor in space and time, which is then used to create an image of 3D of the surroundings.
LiDAR scanners are also able to detect different types of surface, which is particularly useful for mapping environments with dense vegetation. For example, when an incoming pulse is reflected through a forest canopy, it is likely to register multiple returns. The first return is usually attributable to the tops of the trees, while the second one is attributed to the surface of the ground. If the sensor can record each peak of these pulses as distinct, this is known as discrete return LiDAR.
Distinte return scanning can be useful for studying the structure of surfaces. For example the forest may yield an array of 1st and 2nd return pulses, with the final big pulse representing bare ground. The ability to divide these returns and save them as a point cloud makes it possible to create detailed terrain models.
Once a 3D map of the environment has been created, the robot can begin to navigate based on this data. This involves localization, building an appropriate path to get to a destination,' and dynamic obstacle detection. This is the process that detects new obstacles that are not listed in the original map and then updates the plan of travel according to the new obstacles.
SLAM Algorithms
SLAM (simultaneous mapping and localization) is an algorithm that allows your robot to map its surroundings and then determine its location relative to that map. Engineers use this information for a variety of tasks, such as the planning of routes and obstacle detection.
To enable SLAM to work the robot needs a sensor (e.g. A computer that has the right software for processing the data, as well as either a camera or laser are required. Also, you need an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to provide basic information on your location. The result is a system that will precisely track the position of your robot in an unknown environment.
The SLAM process is complex, LiDAR robot navigation and many different back-end solutions are available. No matter which solution you choose to implement an effective SLAM it requires constant communication between the range measurement device and the software that extracts the data and also the robot or vehicle. It is a dynamic process that is almost indestructible.
As the robot moves around, it adds new scans to its map. The SLAM algorithm then compares these scans with the previous ones using a method called scan matching. This assists in establishing loop closures. When a loop closure is discovered it is then the SLAM algorithm uses this information to update its estimated robot trajectory.
The fact that the surroundings changes over time is a further factor that can make it difficult to use SLAM. If, for example, your robot is walking down an aisle that is empty at one point, but it comes across a stack of pallets at a different point, it may have difficulty matching the two points on its map. Handling dynamics are important in this situation and are a characteristic of many modern Lidar SLAM algorithm.
SLAM systems are extremely efficient in 3D scanning and navigation despite these limitations. It is especially beneficial in situations that don't rely on GNSS for positioning, such as an indoor factory floor. It is important to keep in mind that even a properly configured SLAM system may experience mistakes. To correct these mistakes, it is important to be able to recognize them and understand their impact on the SLAM process.
Mapping
The mapping function creates a map of a robot's surroundings. This includes the robot, its wheels, actuators and everything else within its field of vision. This map is used for location, route planning, and obstacle detection. This is an area in which 3D lidars are particularly helpful, as they can be used like an actual 3D camera (with a single scan plane).
The process of building maps can take some time, but the results pay off. The ability to create an accurate and complete map of the robot's surroundings allows it to navigate with great precision, and also over obstacles.
In general, the higher the resolution of the sensor, the more precise will be the map. However it is not necessary for all robots to have maps with high resolution. For instance floor sweepers may not require the same degree of detail as an industrial robot that is navigating factories with huge facilities.
There are a variety of mapping algorithms that can be used with LiDAR sensors. Cartographer is a very popular algorithm that utilizes a two-phase pose graph optimization technique. It adjusts for drift while maintaining an unchanging global map. It is especially useful when paired with Odometry data.
GraphSLAM is a different option, which uses a set of linear equations to represent the constraints in the form of a diagram. The constraints are represented as an O matrix and an one-dimensional X vector, each vertex of the O matrix representing the distance to a landmark on the X vector. A GraphSLAM Update is a sequence of subtractions and additions to these matrix elements. The end result is that all O and X vectors are updated to take into account the latest observations made by the robot.
SLAM+ is another useful mapping algorithm that combines odometry and mapping using an Extended Kalman filter (EKF). The EKF updates not only the uncertainty of the robot's current position, but also the uncertainty of the features that were recorded by the sensor. The mapping function can then utilize this information to better estimate its own position, floor which allows it to update the base map.
Obstacle Detection
A robot must be able to perceive its surroundings to avoid obstacles and reach its goal point. It uses sensors like digital cameras, infrared scanners laser radar and sonar to determine its surroundings. It also utilizes an inertial sensors to monitor its position, speed and orientation. These sensors aid in navigation in a safe and secure manner and prevent collisions.
A range sensor is used to determine the distance between an obstacle and a robot. The sensor can be attached to the robot, a vehicle or a pole. It is important to keep in mind that the sensor can be affected by various factors, such as rain, wind, or fog. It is essential to calibrate the sensors before each use.
The results of the eight neighbor cell clustering algorithm can be used to identify static obstacles. However, this method has a low accuracy in detecting due to the occlusion caused by the distance between the different laser lines and the angular velocity of the camera, which makes it difficult to identify static obstacles in a single frame. To address this issue multi-frame fusion was employed to improve the accuracy of static obstacle detection.
The method of combining roadside camera-based obstacle detection with the vehicle camera has shown to improve data processing efficiency. It also reserves redundancy for other navigation operations such as the planning of a path. The result of this method is a high-quality image of the surrounding area that is more reliable than one frame. In outdoor tests the method was compared against other methods of obstacle detection like YOLOv5 monocular ranging, and VIDAR.
The results of the experiment proved that the algorithm was able to accurately identify the height and location of an obstacle, in addition to its tilt and rotation. It also had a great performance in identifying the size of obstacles and its color. The method was also reliable and reliable, even when obstacles were moving.
