Abstract

This paper addresses the linearization process of an autonomous mobile robot utilizing the second order Sterling polynomial interpolation specifically used for Unscented HybridSLAM algorithm. It describes the implementation of the linearization method to estimate the posterior mean and covariance of the system. The major interest is to apply linearized equations for a simultaneous localization and mapping case in a non-domestic environment with a random distribution of landmarks. Using computer simulations, Unscented HybridSLAM and the associated theoretical interpolation is examined for a double-loop scenario and the efficacy of the Unscented HybridSLAM is validated.
