Abstract

This paper addresses an ongoing research on a novel approach to Simultaneous Localization and Mapping problem called Unscented HybridSLAM. The main contribution of this paper is to develop the map update formulas along with proof results in order to investigate the validation of the map evolution. The investigation is presented using the help of simulations in terms of robustness, map fusion, and the update process. Results clearly show that as the vehicle travels along the path and the map evolves, the Unscented HybridSLAM algorithm avoids the overestimation of landmarks.
