LiDAR and Robot Navigation
LiDAR is an essential feature for mobile robots who need to navigate safely. It can perform a variety of functions, including obstacle detection and path planning.
2D lidar scans the surroundings in a single plane, which is much simpler and more affordable than 3D systems. This creates a more robust system that can identify obstacles even if they aren't aligned with the sensor plane.
LiDAR Device
LiDAR sensors (Light Detection And Ranging) utilize laser beams that are safe for eyes to "see" their surroundings. By transmitting pulses of light and measuring the amount of time it takes for each returned pulse the systems can determine the distances between the sensor and objects within their field of view. The information is then processed into a complex, real-time 3D representation of the surveyed area known as a point cloud.
LiDAR's precise sensing capability gives robots a deep knowledge of their environment and gives them the confidence to navigate different scenarios. Accurate localization is a particular benefit, since the technology pinpoints precise positions using cross-referencing of data with maps that are already in place.
The LiDAR technology varies based on their application in terms of frequency (maximum range) and resolution as well as horizontal field of vision. The fundamental principle of all lidar based robot vacuum devices is the same that the sensor sends out a laser pulse which hits the environment and returns back to the sensor. This process is repeated thousands of times per second, creating a huge collection of points representing the area being surveyed.
Each return point is unique based on the structure of the surface reflecting the pulsed light. For instance buildings and trees have different reflective percentages than bare earth or water. The intensity of light is dependent on the distance and scan angle of each pulsed pulse as well.
The data is then compiled to create a three-dimensional representation, namely an image of a point cloud. This can be viewed using an onboard computer for navigational reasons. The point cloud can be filtered so that only the desired area is shown.
Alternatively, the point cloud could be rendered in a true color by matching the reflection of light to the transmitted light. This allows for a better visual interpretation, as well as an accurate spatial analysis. The point cloud can be labeled with GPS information that allows for temporal synchronization and accurate time-referencing, useful for quality control and time-sensitive analysis.
LiDAR is a tool that can be utilized in many different industries and applications. It is utilized on drones to map topography, and for forestry, as well on autonomous vehicles that produce a digital map for safe navigation. It is also used to determine the vertical structure of forests, assisting researchers to assess the carbon sequestration and biomass. Other applications include monitoring the environment and detecting changes to atmospheric components like CO2 or greenhouse gases.
Range Measurement Sensor
The heart of LiDAR devices is a range sensor that continuously emits a laser beam towards surfaces and objects. The laser beam is reflected and the distance can be measured by observing the amount of time it takes for the laser's pulse to be able to reach the object's surface and then return to the sensor. Sensors are mounted on rotating platforms to allow rapid 360-degree sweeps. These two-dimensional data sets give an exact picture of the robot’s surroundings.
There are a variety of range sensors. They have varying minimum and maximum ranges, resolutions, affordable and fields of view. KEYENCE offers a wide range of sensors available and can help you select the right one for your application.
Range data can be used to create contour maps in two dimensions of the operational area. It can also be combined with other sensor technologies such as cameras or vision systems to increase the performance and robustness of the navigation system.
Cameras can provide additional visual data to assist in the interpretation of range data and improve the accuracy of navigation. Certain vision systems are designed to utilize range data as input into a computer generated model of the environment, which can be used to guide the robot by interpreting what it sees.
To get the most benefit from a LiDAR system, it's essential to have a thorough understanding of how the sensor functions and what it can do. Most of the time the robot will move between two crop rows and the objective is to find the correct row by using the LiDAR data set.
To achieve this, a method called simultaneous mapping and localization (SLAM) is a technique that can be utilized. SLAM is an iterative algorithm which makes use of a combination of known conditions, such as the robot's current location and orientation, modeled predictions that are based on the current speed and heading sensors, and estimates of noise and error quantities, and iteratively approximates a solution to determine the Venga! Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Mop - 6 Modes's position and position. This technique lets the robot move in complex and unstructured areas without the need for reflectors or markers.
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization & Mapping)
The SLAM algorithm is crucial to a robot's ability create a map of its surroundings and locate itself within that map. Its development is a major research area for artificial intelligence and mobile robots. This paper reviews a range of leading approaches for solving the SLAM issues and discusses the remaining issues.
The primary goal of SLAM is to estimate the robot's movement patterns in its surroundings while creating a 3D model of the environment. The algorithms of SLAM are based upon features derived from sensor data, which can either be laser or camera data. These characteristics are defined by points or objects that can be distinguished. They could be as simple as a plane or corner, or they could be more complex, like a shelving unit or piece of equipment.
The majority of Lidar sensors only have limited fields of view, which may limit the data that is available to SLAM systems. A wider FoV permits the sensor to capture a greater portion of the surrounding environment, which can allow for an accurate mapping of the environment and a more precise navigation system.
To accurately determine the robot's location, an SLAM must match point clouds (sets in space of data points) from the current and the previous environment. This can be achieved using a number of algorithms such as the iterative nearest point and normal distributions transformation (NDT) methods. These algorithms can be combined with sensor data to produce a 3D map that can later be displayed as an occupancy grid or 3D point cloud.
A SLAM system is extremely complex and requires substantial processing power to operate efficiently. This can be a problem for robotic systems that need to perform in real-time or run on the hardware of a limited platform. To overcome these challenges, the SLAM system can be optimized for the specific software and hardware. For example a laser scanner with an extensive FoV and a high resolution might require more processing power than a less, lower-resolution scan.
Map Building
A map is an image of the surrounding environment that can be used for a number of purposes. It is usually three-dimensional, and serves a variety of functions. It could be descriptive, displaying the exact location of geographical features, used in a variety of applications, such as a road map, or an exploratory one seeking out patterns and connections between phenomena and their properties to uncover deeper meaning to a topic, such as many thematic maps.
Local mapping makes use of the data provided by LiDAR sensors positioned at the bottom of the robot, just above ground level to build a 2D model of the surrounding area. To do this, the sensor provides distance information from a line of sight from each pixel in the range finder in two dimensions, which permits topological modeling of the surrounding space. Most segmentation and navigation algorithms are based on this data.
Scan matching is an algorithm that utilizes distance information to determine the position and orientation of the AMR for each time point. This is accomplished by minimizing the error of the robot's current condition (position and rotation) and its anticipated future state (position and orientation). There are a variety of methods to achieve scan matching. The most popular one is Iterative Closest Point, which has undergone several modifications over the years.
Another approach to local map construction is Scan-toScan Matching. This incremental algorithm is used when an AMR doesn't have a map, or the map that it does have doesn't correspond to its current surroundings due to changes. This approach is susceptible to a long-term shift in the map, as the cumulative corrections to position and pose are subject to inaccurate updating over time.
A multi-sensor fusion system is a robust solution that uses multiple data types to counteract the weaknesses of each. This type of system is also more resistant to the flaws in individual sensors and can deal with the dynamic environment that is constantly changing.
