Why Mapping?
n Learning maps is one of the fundamental problems in mobile robotics
n Successful robot systems rely on maps for localization, path planning, activity planning etc.
3
The General Problem of Mapping
n Formally, mapping involves, given the control inputs and sensor data,
to calculate the most likely map

Mapping as a Chicken and Egg Problem
n So far we learned how to estimate the pose of a robot given the data and the map.
n Mapping, however, involves to simultaneously estimate the pose of the vehicle and the map.
n The general problem is therefore denoted as the simultaneous localization and mapping problem (SLAM).
n Throughout this set of slides we will describe how to calculate a map given we know the pose of the robot. n In future lectures we’ll build on top of this to
achieve SLAM.

Occupancy Grid Maps
n Introduced by Moravec and Elfes in 1985
n Represent environment by a grid. Each cell can be empty or occupied.
n E.g., 10m by 20m space, 5cm resolution à 80,000 cells à 280,000 possible maps.
n à Can’t efficiently compute with general posterior over maps
n Key assumption: n Occupancy of individual cells (m[xy]) is independent
Bel(mt ) = P(mt | u1, z2…,ut!1, zt ) = Bel(mt[ xy] )

Updating Occupancy Grid Maps
n Per grid-cell update:
n BUT: how to obtain p(zt | mt[xy] = v) ?
n =
n This would require summation over all maps
n à Heuristic approximation to update that works well in practice
Bel(mt[ xy] = v) =! p(zt |mt
[ xy] = v)Bel(mt!1[ xy] )

The maximum likelihood map is obtained by clipping the occupancy grid map at a threshold of 0.5

Reflection Maps: Simple Counting
n For every cell count n hits(x,y): number of cases where a beam ended at <x,y>
n misses(x,y): number of cases where a beam passed through <x,y>
n Value of interest: P(reflects(x,y))
n Turns out we can give a formal Bayesian justification for this counting approach

Difference between Occupancy Grid Maps and Counting
n The counting model determines how often a cell reflects a beam.
n The occupancy model represents whether or not a cell is occupied by an object.
n Although a cell might be occupied by an object, the reflection probability of this object might be very small.

Example n Out of 1000 beams only 60% are reflected from a cell and 40%
intercept it without ending in it.
n Accordingly, the reflection probability will be 0.6.
n Suppose p(occ | z) = 0.55 when a beam ends in a cell and p(occ | z) = 0.45 when a cell is intercepted by a beam that does not end in it.
n Accordingly, after n measurements we will have
n Whereas the reflection map yields a value of 0.6, the occupancy grid value converges to 1.

Summary
n Grid maps are a popular approach to represent the environment of a mobile robot given known poses.
n In this approach each cell is considered independently from all others.
n Occupancy grid maps
n store the posterior probability that the corresponding area in the environment is occupied.
n can be estimated efficiently using a probabilistic approach.
n Reflection maps are an alternative representation.
n store in each cell the probability that a beam is reflected by this cell.
n the counting procedure underlying reflection maps yield the optimal reflection map.
