Description:
The execution of tasks by mobile robots moving in an unknown environment is one of the lines of research currently open and which is expected to have the greatest impact in the medium term. For this purpose, it is necessary to have as much precise and detailed information as possible as a reference so that the robot or robots that are performing a certain task can be located within the work environment. During the last few years, a lot of work has been done with excellent results in this line of research on the creation of environment maps through which robots can be located in a joint process (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping). The proposing research group has focused during the last years in this line of research having as starting data for the creation of the map, the visual information of each of the vision systems that the robots have. From this visual information, metric maps are extracted so that the robots can locate themselves and perform navigation tasks as accurately as possible.
It is in this area where the present research project is focused, in which, based on the results achieved so far, it is proposed to undertake new lines of research consisting of developing dynamic visual maps taking into account the semantic and topological information provided by the vision systems, all in environments with 6 degrees of freedom.
