Uncertainty-Aware Tightly-Coupled GPS Fused LIO-SLAM

英文摘要：

Delivery robots aim to achieve high precision to facilitate complete autonomy. A precise three-dimensional point cloud map of sidewalk surroundings is required to estimate self-location. With or without the loop closing method, the cumulative error increases gradually after mapping for larger urban or city maps due to sensor drift. Therefore, there is a high risk of using the drifted or misaligned map. This article presented a technique for fusing GPS to update the 3D point cloud and eliminate cumulative error. The proposed method shows outstanding results in quantitative comparison and qualitative evaluation with other existing methods.
