The invention belongs to the technical field of
intelligent robots, and discloses a substation inspection
robot mapping method based on GPS closed-loop detection. The method comprises steps: the robotwalks according to a specified
route, and
laser point cloud data during walking are acquired; in a
global coordinate system, by using the conversion relationship between poses in adjacent two framesof
laser and the
point cloud data of a former frame of
laser, inter-frame laser
point cloud data are spliced; tile-type mapping is carried out; a specified frame of a sub image is selected as a
key frame; the current position of the
robot is positioned in real time according to
GPS data, and with the position as a circle center and the specified distance as a
radius, a closed-loop candidate area is defined; and each candidate
pose in each sub image in the closed-loop candidate area is screened, and when a certain
pose meets a screening condition, the laser frame corresponding to the
pose and the
key frame are subjected to closed-loop connection. By adopting the substation inspection
robot mapping method based on GPS closed-loop detection, the calculation amount related to positioning is greatly reduced, and the positioning efficiency and the positioning accuracy are significantly improved.
