ABSTRACT
This paper describes the application of mobile robots in the current coronavirus epidemic. Localization is a frequently discussed topic in mobile robotics research. Before a robot can start a task, it must know its current location on a map. The system proposed in this paper scans the obstacles and terrain around the robot by LiDAR to obtain a map of the environment and then uses the image recognition algorithm proposed in this paper to achieve the robot's location. This system can be applied to frontline medical robots, which can disinfect the environment or deliver medication, especially in the case of the COVID-19 epidemic, to help healthcare workers. The proposed localization algorithm is different from the traditional Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization (AMCL), which uses a 2D LiDAR sensor with image recognition to complete the localization. By using a modified template matching technique, the local map is compared with the known global map to deduce the robot's position, which is more accurate than AMCL. In this study, an indoor environment is created using Gazebo 3D environment simulation software, and a robot with a 2D LiDAR sensor is used in this environment to conduct the experiment. We designed three scenarios to validate the proposed algorithm, one with simple terrain, the second scene will appear throughout the map with other scenes of similar terrain, and the third with long straight lines. The results show that this method is feasible. © 2021 IEEE.
