Abstract

An accurate outdoor localization method using line/arc features is suggested for mobile robots with LRFs (Laser Range Finders) and odometry. Localization is a key process for outdoor mobile robots which are used for autonomous navigation, exploration and so on. In this paper, an accurate pose correction algorithm is proposed for mobile robots using LRFs, which use three feature types: line, circle, and arc. Using this method we can reduce the number of singular cases that robots couldn't find their pose. Finally we have got simulation results to validate the proposed algorithm.
