Abstract

The localization is one of the most important capabilities for mobile robots. However, other robots can be considered as unknown objects when a mobile robot performs localization, because other robots can enter the sensing range of a mobile robot. Therefore, we propose a method of intelligent self-localization using evolutionary computation for multiple mobile robots based on simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). First, we explain the method of SLAM using occupancy grid mapping by a single mobile robot. Next, we propose an intelligent self-localization method using multi-resolution map and evolutionary computation based on relative position of other robots in the sensing range. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
