Problems solved by technology

Point-based matching directly searches and matches the corresponding points in the lidar data, which has high precision and does not depend on environmental features, but it has a large amount of calculation and is difficult to apply to embedded computing platforms.
Feature-based matching pre-extracts environmental features, such as corners, planes, etc., which greatly reduces the matching data, with fast calculation and high precision, but it relies on environmental features and cannot operate normally in an environment with few features.
Matching based on probability distribution usually uses a three-dimensional occupancy grid map. The distribution of objects in the environment is represented by the probability of the three-dimensional grid being occupied, which avoids direct matching of points and reduces the amount of calculation. For general embedded computing platforms, the amount of calculation Still too large, if you want to further reduce the amount of calculation, you need to increase the grid size, which will lead to a decrease in accuracy
[0005] In addition, the existing mobile robot navigation and positioning systems are mostly aimed at complex urban high-rise environments, and unfamiliar outdoor environments where there are relatively open spaces, few moving objects, and GNSS positioning is reliable most of the time, or where complex environments and open environments meet. Requires a specific targeting method to meet actual needs

Embodiment 2

[0079] We used the intelligent platform controller produced by Wuxi Kallman Navigation Technology Co., Ltd. to conduct experiments. The controller contains Nvidia's Jetson Nano embedded computing module (4-core A57, 4GB LPDDR4 memory), STM32F107 single-chip microcomputer, Openimu330B (IMU), Unicore 4B0 (GNSS module), EC20 (4G communication module), LS LIDAR C16 (16-line laser radar), etc. Jetson Nano runs the Linux operating system, obtains RTCM data through the 4G communication module, and sends the data to the GNSS module through the serial port. The STM32 obtains the IMU data through the SPI interface, obtains the GNSS module data through the serial port, adds the time scale and sends it to the Jetson Nano through the serial port, and sends the time data to the 16-line lidar through another serial port. Jetson Nano obtains IMU and GNSS data through the serial port of STM32, and obtains lidar data through the Ethernet interface. On the Linux system of Jetson Nano, ROS (Robo...

Abstract

The invention discloses a mobile robot navigation and positioning system based on GNSS / INS / LIDAR-SLAM information fusion, belonging to the field of robot navigation. The system of the present invention adopts the extended Kalman filter to fuse the GNSS positioning result, IMU data and the relative pose of the laser radar mapping positioning to obtain the positioning result of the mobile robot. Among them, for the SLAM algorithm with high computing performance requirements, the system adopts the 3D lidar SLAM technology based on feature extraction, and reduces the calculation amount of point cloud matching through feature pre-extraction, so that the navigation and positioning system can run on the embedded platform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mobile robot navigation and positioning system based on GNSS / INS / LIDAR-SLAM information fusion, belonging to the field of robot navigation. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of unmanned driving technology and intelligent robots, three positioning systems, GNSS, IMU, and LIDAR, have been widely researched and applied in the field of unmanned driving. [0003] The positioning based on the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is easily affected by occlusion and multipath, resulting in a decrease in positioning accuracy, or even inability to locate; the inertial measurement unit (IMU) can continuously provide relative positioning in a short period of time, but the positioning error will change with time. The rapid accumulation of time becomes larger; for unfamiliar environments, fusion positioning and mapping technology (SLAM) is widely used, and the SLAM system can gradually establish maps and positio...
