A Markov-Chain Monte Carlo Approach to Simultaneous Localization and Mapping

, , and . AISTATS, 9, page 605--612. (May 2010)

Abstract

A Markov-chain Monte Carlo based algorithm is provided to solve the Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem with general dynamics and observation model under open-loop control and provided that the map-representation is finite dimensional. To our knowledge this is the first provably consistent yet (close-to) practical solution to this problem. The superiority of our algorithm over alternative SLAM algorithms is demonstrated in a difficult loop closing situation.
