Abstract

Nowadays, FastSLAM filters are the most widely used methods to solve the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem. In general, these approaches can use complex matrix formulation for computing the particle weighting procedure, during the execution of the SLAM algorithm. In this paper, we describe a new particle weight strategy for the FastSLAM filter, which can maintain the generation of particles in its most simplified form. Thus, this approach tries to estimate the robot poses and build the environment map using a simple geometric formulation for executing the particle weighting procedure. This method is capable of reducing the processing time and keeping the accuracy of the robot pose. Both simulation and experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach at enabling a robotic vehicle to accomplish the mapping of an unknown environment and also navigate through it.
