Autonomous Exploration-Based Precise Mapping for Mobile Robots through Stepwise and Consistent Motions

  • 采用多RRT分层采样与可通行性检测,高效筛选可行探索点。
  • 通过分步一致运动策略,减少扫描匹配误差与地图漂移。
  • 引入路径重溯机制,增强回环检测与建图一致性,适合资源受限设备。

本文提出一种自主探索框架,专为使用激光同步定位与建图(SLAM)的室内地面移动机器人设计,确保过程完整性与高精度建图。针对前沿搜索,采用基于多个快速探索随机树(RRTs)的局部-全局采样架构;在RRT扩展中进行可通行性检查,并在地图更新后对全局RRT进行剪枝,剔除不可达前沿,降低潜在碰撞与死锁风险。根据障碍物分布动态调整采样密度,提升探索覆盖率。在前沿点导航中,采用分步一致运动策略:机器人沿折线路径的等距直线段严格直行,在转折处原地旋转。该解耦运动模式改善了扫描匹配稳定性,缓解地图漂移。过程控制上,串行化前沿点选择与导航,避免传统并行流程中频繁目标切换引发的振荡。引入航点重溯机制,生成重复观测,触发图优化中回环检测与后端优化,提升地图一致性和精度。仿真与真实场景实验验证框架有效性:相比基线2D探索算法,在更复杂环境下实现更高的建图覆盖率与精度,且在资源受限平台及不同激光雷达视场角配置下均表现出鲁棒性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper presents an autonomous exploration framework. It is designed for indoor ground mobile robots that utilize laser Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), ensuring process completeness and precise mapping results. For frontier search, the local-global sampling architecture based on multiple Rapidly Exploring Random Trees (RRTs) is employed. Traversability checks during RRT expansion and global RRT pruning upon map updates eliminate unreachable frontiers, reducing potential collisions and deadlocks. Adaptive sampling density adjustments, informed by obstacle distribution, enhance exploration coverage potential. For frontier point navigation, a stepwise consistent motion strategy is adopted, wherein the robot strictly drives straight on approximately equidistant line segments in the polyline path and rotates in place at segment junctions. This simplified, decoupled motion pattern improves scan-matching stability and mitigates map drift. For process control, the framework serializes frontier point selection and navigation, avoiding oscillation caused by frequent goal changes in conventional parallelized processes. The waypoint retracing mechanism is introduced to generate repeated observations, triggering loop closure detection and backend optimization in graph-based SLAM, thereby improving map consistency and precision. Experiments in both simulation and real-world scenarios validate the effectiveness of the framework. It achieves improved mapping coverage and precision in more challenging environments compared to baseline 2D exploration algorithms. It also shows robustness in supporting resource-constrained robot platforms and maintaining mapping consistency across various LiDAR field-of-view (FoV) configurations.
