Incorporating neuro-fuzzy with extended Kalman filter for simultaneous localization and mapping

摘要

Extended Kalman filter is well-known as a popular solution to the simultaneous localization and mapping problem for mobile robot platforms or vehicles. In this article, the development of a neuro-fuzzy-based adaptive extended Kalman filter technique is presented. The objective is to estimate the proper values of the R matrix at each step. We design an adaptive neuro-fuzzy extended Kalman filter to minimize the difference between the actual and theoretical covariance matrices of the innovation consequence. The parameters of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy extended Kalman filter is then trained offline using a particle swarm optimization technique. With this approach, the advantages of high-dimensional search space can be exploited and more effective training can be achieved. In the experiments, the mobile robot navigation with a number of landmarks under two benchmark situations is evaluated. The results have demonstrated that the proposed adaptive neuro-fuzzy extended Kalman filter technique provides the improvement in both performance efficiency and computational cost.
