0:00:00hi my name is william attacker gonzalez and i'm doing a project on a time
0:00:04to miss navigation and control
0:00:06evaluating methods to simultaneous localisation and mapping or slam
0:00:12as you may have heard and then use recently
0:00:15there was a recent
0:00:16playing flight
0:00:17motion plane flight crash
0:00:19number three seventy
0:00:20where hundreds of people are gone missing
0:00:23and right now sciences are using a time to miss underwater vehicles in a huge
0:00:29search operation
0:00:30using the technology known as slam to map
0:00:34and visualize the motion for to look for displaying plate
0:00:39so what is slam
0:00:41after getting little background so i am it is simultaneous localisation mapping as i said
0:00:46before
0:00:47and it uses complex geometric form as in sure gonna metric functions for robot to
0:00:53scan visualise environment around it as well as position itself so it can know where
0:00:58it is relative to all the objects surrounding it
0:01:03so some approaches to slam better being used today
0:01:06our sensor integration where robot will have not only just a camera to scan
0:01:12by the infrared sensor all just sighing sensor et cetera et cetera
0:01:16and uses hierarchical methods
0:01:19to help the robot's can
0:01:21environment using probability theory
0:01:24so let's say the robot is gaining a glass door obviously the camera is not
0:01:29going to return
0:01:31the best
0:01:32quality data so the way the ultrasonic sensor over the camera
0:01:38so getting in a my product might pieces was as a tandem since robot such
0:01:44as drivers cars are use a novel environments
0:01:47scanning images of an environment using fast scanning algorithms
0:01:51we improve upon the efficiency of mapping as compared with the current standard methods
0:01:57and an overview of my project
0:02:00i did a simulation of slam algorithms and scanning speed
0:02:04using different sensors
0:02:06that were working together
0:02:08and i would evaluate these maps using mahalanobis distance equation
0:02:13which is as shown below
0:02:16so the initial goals and objectives of my product work to take a mobile robot
0:02:20such as nine robot remember
0:02:22and they connect the x box sensor
0:02:25and i would but there was together
0:02:28couple them together you know these are two things you can get
0:02:31really well priced at best buy
0:02:33local best buy
0:02:35to navigate environment and map it
0:02:37and i whatever analyze these physical environment s
0:02:42so my experimental process involved using online open source code from
0:02:48something on is "'cause" e bow
0:02:50i would then start of virtual world
0:02:53and one minute i missed mode in that virtual world
0:02:56and start mapping and visualising
0:02:59now after that was done i would analyse my results
0:03:03so here's my project set up this is all on my laptop i did a
0:03:06few test with the physical environment but unfortunately i wasn't able to show those here
0:03:11but issue here on the left side you can see an odometer a compiler
0:03:15where the robot
0:03:17is very ago ready to start scanning
0:03:19it's ready to localise itself
0:03:21from its initial position by keeping track of
0:03:24how far as wheels have spun
0:03:27and on the right is the complete scans of a simple q the bottom when
0:03:31action a cylinder and top right
0:03:34as you can see is the speed increases
0:03:38for a relatively
0:03:40the
0:03:42quality of the maps goes down
0:03:44as it approaches the right picture
0:03:47and my results here's a graph
0:03:49on the bottom right bar graph
0:03:51showing them how nervous
0:03:53value
0:03:55verses the speed of the scanning
0:03:58mahalanobis value when it's a value of zero means is a perfect scan so my
0:04:02very low speeds can almost return a value of zeros about twenty one i was
0:04:07terry surprise how well that when i'm
0:04:09as you can see the mahalanobis five gets higher and higher
0:04:12and efficiency goes down with the bowser scanning speed
0:04:16which unfortunately i did
0:04:20did not think would happen
0:04:23so significance of my project it's a very cheap alternative to vary
0:04:27complex technology being used today the google car actually
0:04:32which
0:04:32self navigate to self use the technology notice light are
0:04:36which is hunters the thousand dollars
0:04:38so this was you know open source project that i did
0:04:41it's something simple
0:04:44that high school students like me can do for
0:04:47a very small amounts of money
0:04:50very cheap
0:04:51and you know i was very surprise of the quality of maps
0:04:53that my programs generated
0:04:55from doing this project
0:04:57and that's it thank you
