Abstract

In this work, we propose a semantic-map building method and localization method for ubiquitous service robot. Our semantic-map is organized by using SIFT feature-based object representation. In addition to semantic map, a vision-based relative localization is employed as a process model of extended Kalman filters, where optical flows and Levenberg-Marquardt least square minimization are incorporated to predict relative robot locations. Thus, robust map-building performances can be obtained even under poor conditions in which localization cannot be achieved by classical odometry-based map-building. To localize robot position and solve kidnap problem, we also propose simple, but fast localization method with a relatively high accuracy by incorporating our semantic-map.
