Description

As my final univeristy project I'm implementing some algorithms for SLAM for a robot with a LIDAR. LIDARs are expensive for hobby projects, and I'm trying to build a cheap little robot and implement SLAM with a few cheap sensors, like IR or ultrasonic distance sensors.

I'm also interested in IMUs and sensor fusion, so the robot has a accelerometer + gyro module and a magnetometer module.

For implementing the algorithms, I will use Matlab. The connection between the robot and the computer will be made by bluetooth.

I will update this projects as soon as I will get results.

1 × Accelerometer + Gyroscope GY-521 MPU-6050 Module 3 Axis gyro + 3 Axis Accelerometer Module
1 × Microcontroller Arduino MEGA2560
2 × IR distance sensor GP2Y0A21YK0F

Did you manage to implement slam algorithm?

Are you sure? yes | no

I didn't updated this page because my final project was changed a bit, but I'm going to update it in a few months with my results explained and the code.

Are you sure? yes | no

Just out of curiosity, what SLAM algorithms will you be using?

Are you sure? yes | no

I'm working from scratch, for learning purposes. I'm using an Extended Kalman Filter with landmark extraction from raw data from LIDAR.

Are you sure? yes | no
