2D maps

I have implemented a Maximum Incremental Probability Algorithm based upon the Extended Kalman Filter for localization and map building and combined it with a novel method to remove dynamic points from the generated maps. Integration with reactive and motion control allowed for the development of a simple yet effective navigation system for mobile robots.

Here are some of the results I obtained when testing the algorithms with both simulated and real data. For more details see the Publications section.

3D maps

Moving on to the third dimension, I have developed a plane-based Maximum Probability Algorithm for localization and map building.

Here are some of the results I obtained when testing the algorithms with real data acquired at our laboratory by our robot Nemo. For further details see the Publications section.
