Description
Summary:The aim of the thesis is to apply simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in a Robot Operating System (ROS) environment. Different sensor setups are used and evaluated. The SLAM applications used is the open-source solution Cartographer as well as Intel's own commercial SLAM in their T265 tracking camera. The different sensor setups are evaluated based on how well the localization will give the exact pose of the AGV in comparison to another positioning system acting as ground truth.
