| Abstract | This paper presents a novel method for integrating swarm intelligence and line-based representation of environment to solve the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem of mobile robots. SLAM is a well-studied problem in mobile robotics. Because of stochastic nature of search strategy in swarm intelligence algorithms, they are very successful compared with other techniques in encountering SLAM problem. Line segment based representation of 2D maps is known to have advantages over raw point data or grid based representation gained from laser range scans. It contains higher geometric information that is closer to human insight and conceptual mapping, which is necessary for robust post processing. It also significantly reduces the memory and time complexity. Mobile robot reads raw laser sensor data in each step of its trajectory and converts it to a set of lines which is used to produce the last sensed map. At the next phase, the algorithm utilizes particle swarm optimization (PSO) and introduces a new evaluation function to find the actual state of the last sensed map inside a global map, which is merged into a global map by introducing a new merge method to reconstruct the global map. We use PSO's ability to run away from local extrema and converge towards an optimum point (i.e. best robot status in the map) by utilizing adaptive inertia weight strategy. We also introduce a new criterion to measure the similarity between the line pairs in the map. The experimental results on real datasets and virtual environments exhibit the algorithm's robustness, accuracy and superior performance on problems that are under consideration in SLAM such as loop closing, correspondence problem, curvature of the walls, and sensor uncertainty. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
