Description
Summary:In this paper, we are going to present an implementation of SLAM. This SLAM technology is used for creating a map of an unknown environment by placing a robot. Robot will be interfaced and controlled using Robot Operating System (ROS). We are aiming to create a map of a region where disaster has taken place. It can be used to create a map of the regions where humans cannot reach. In the disaster prone areas it is not possible for humans to check the location of survivors. Our robot will help to amplify low human noise to detect presence of humans under the rubble and to detect them using sensors and then we can mark that location so that rescue team would quickly reach to that location for their rescue, also simultaneous live feed/streaming using normal camera to monitor the area. Here main part is odometry of robot. To calculate odometry, camera and encoders are used. So, SLAM based robots can help in mapping their locations digitally.
