Comparative Evaluation of RGB-D SLAM Methods for Humanoid Robot Localization and Mapping (2401.02816v1)
Abstract: In this paper, we conducted a comparative evaluation of three RGB-D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithms: RTAB-Map, ORB-SLAM3, and OpenVSLAM for SURENA-V humanoid robot localization and mapping. Our test involves the robot to follow a full circular pattern, with an Intel RealSense D435 RGB-D camera installed on its head. In assessing localization accuracy, ORB-SLAM3 outperformed the others with an ATE of 0.1073, followed by RTAB-Map at 0.1641 and OpenVSLAM at 0.1847. However, it should be noted that both ORB-SLAM3 and OpenVSLAM faced challenges in maintaining accurate odometry when the robot encountered a wall with limited feature points. Nevertheless, OpenVSLAM demonstrated the ability to detect loop closures and successfully relocalize itself within the map when the robot approached its initial location. The investigation also extended to mapping capabilities, where RTAB-Map excelled by offering diverse mapping outputs, including dense, OctoMap, and occupancy grid maps. In contrast, both ORB-SLAM3 and OpenVSLAM provided only sparse maps.
