Academic Seminar: A Tutorial on Extended Kalman Filter Approach to Implement Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping

Speaker: Jaspreet Dhupia, Senior Lecturer, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Auckland

Time: 10:00 am - 11:30 am, May 28, 2021, (Beijing Time)

Location: CIMC Auditorium (Room 300), JI Long Bin Building

Abstract

With improvements in computer processing speed and availability of low cost sensors, such as cameras and laser range finders, simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) is now finding practical applications in autonomous navigation, robotics (e.g. home vacuum cleaners), virtual/ mixed reality, This talk will be an instructional step-by-step approach to carry out SLAM in 2 D with unknown point landmarks. The Extended Kalman Filter will be used to estimate both the robot’s pose and landmark locations in an unknown environment. If time permits, a MATLAB demonstration will also be shown. Anyone interested to work in Bayes filters, mobile robotics, estimation, will find this talk useful for practical implementation.
