Simultaneous Localization And Mapping
SLAM is the process of building a map of an environment while, at the same time, using that map to maintain the location of the robot.
• Problems for SLAM in large scale environments:
– Controlling growth of uncertainty and complexity
– Achieving autonomous exploration

Sonar sensing
CS-417 Introduction to Robotics and Intelligent Systems 13
Why is sonar sensing limited to
between ~12 in. and ~25 feet ?
“The sponge”
Polaroid sonar emitter/receivers
sonar timeline
0 a “chirp” is emitted into the environment
75ms typically when reverberations from the initial chirp have stopped
.5s the transducer goes into “receiving” mode and awaits a signal...
after a short time, the signal will be too weak to be detected
![Page 14: Ultrasonic Sensing and Mapping - McGill CIM · 2011. 9. 13. · Ultrasonic Sensing and Mapping . Introduction to Mapping • What the world looks like? • Knowledge representation](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a1c0c7a0585d635b0ac9f6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sonar effects
CS-417 Introduction to Robotics and Intelligent Systems 14 resolution: time / space
(d) Specular reflections cause walls to disappear
(e) Open corners produce a weak spherical wavefront
(f) Closed corners measure to the corner itself because of multiple reflections --> sonar ray tracing
(a) Sonar providing an accurate range measurement
(b-c) Lateral resolution is not very precise; the closest object in the beam’s cone provides the response

t = time
z = orthogonal distance
a = angle of environment surface
• Models the response, hR, with:

Combining sensor readings
CS-417 Introduction to Robotics and Intelligent Systems 21
• The key to making accurate maps is combining lots of data.
• But combining these numbers means we have to know what they are !
What should our map contain ?
• small cells
• each represents a bit of the robot’s environment
• larger values => obstacle
• smaller values => free
what is in each cell of this sonar model / map ?
![Page 22: Ultrasonic Sensing and Mapping - McGill CIM · 2011. 9. 13. · Ultrasonic Sensing and Mapping . Introduction to Mapping • What the world looks like? • Knowledge representation](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a1c0c7a0585d635b0ac9f6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is it a map of?
CS-417 Introduction to Robotics and Intelligent Systems 22
Several answers to this question have been tried: It’s a map of occupied cells.
oxy oxy cell (x,y) is occupied
cell (x,y) is unoccupied
Each cell is either occupied or unoccupied -- this was the approach taken by the Stanford Cart.
pre ‘83
What information should this map contain, given that it is created with sonar ?

CS-417 Introduction to Robotics and Intelligent Systems 23
Several answers to this question have been tried:
It’s a map of occupied cells.
It’s a map of probabilities: p( o | S1..i )
p( o | S1..i )
The certainty that a cell is occupied, given the sensor readings S1, S2, …, Si
The certainty that a cell is unoccupied, given the sensor readings S1, S2, …, Si
oxy oxy cell (x,y) is occupied
cell (x,y) is unoccupied
• maintaining related values separately?
• initialize all certainty values to zero
• contradictory information will lead to both values near 1
• combining them takes some work...

Conditional probability
CS-417 Introduction to Robotics and Intelligent Systems 31
Some intuition...
p( o | S ) =
The probability of event o, given event S .
The probability that a certain cell o is occupied, given that the robot sees the sensor reading S .
p( S | o ) = The probability of event S, given event o .
The probability that the robot sees the sensor reading S , given that a certain cell o is occupied.
•What is really meant by conditional probability ?
•How are these two probabilities related?

Learning the Sensor Model
CS-417 Introduction to Robotics and Intelligent Systems 42
The sonar model depends dramatically on the environment -- we’d like to learn an appropriate sensor model
rather than hire Roman Kuc to develop another one...

(1) create another sensor model
(2) update along with the sonar
