Integrating SLAM into Gas Distribution Mapping
Abstract:
In this paper we consider the problem of creating a spatial representation of a gas distribution
in an environment using a mobile robot equipped with gas sensors.
The gas distribution mapping method used models the information content of a given measurement
about the average concentration distribution with respect to the point of measurement.
In this paper,
we present an extension which can consider the uncertainty about the robot’s position in the gas distribution mapping.
We present a preliminary result where a mobile robot equipped with gas sensors
creates a map of a large indoor environment,
using both spatial and olfactory information.
