Environmental Estimation and Smoothing Algorithms for Dynamic and Modular Robots
註釋A set of estimation algorithm is presented for various robotics platforms. Among many different types of platforms, this work focuses on two types; large, dynamically complex systems with rich set of sensors and high computation power, and self-reconfigurable modular robots with limited computational resources and sensing capability. Three distinct types of estimation algorithm are presented; 1) adaptive Gaussian mixture smoother for highly complex nonlinear dynamics and measurement models with multi-modal noises, 2) a scalable and efficient surface normal estimation algorithms for computationally limited platforms, and 3) a set of estimation algorithms to calibrate a set of modular robots in order to estimate position and orientation of sensor module. Each set of algorithms are validated with appropriate numerical studies and experiments.
