H-SLAM is an autonomous localization and
mapping strategy that scales well to large indoor environments by decomposing
the work space into subregions. This is achieved
using a topological graph representation and associating a high resolution
local map to each graph edge. This organized collection of maps forms the
Hierarchical Atlas.
In this talk I will present the H-SLAM method in the context of established mapping
strategies and discuss the applications of the atlas to path planning and
global localization. I will present experimental results verifying the addressed
applications, and compare the computational complexity of the H-SLAM approach
to other recent SLAM solutions. The most current work towards using natural
landmarks will be presented, and finally, future extensions of this approach
will be discussed.
