SLAM for mobile robot based on interactive GUI

As we all know that, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) are vital for mobile robot. This paper presents a method of map building using interactive GUI (Graphical User Interface) for an indoor service mobile robot because of the uncertainty of the sensors. What´s more, the operator can modify the map compared with the real-time video from the web camera of the mobile robot. In the proposed system, EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) was used to improve the precision of self-localization of the mobile robot. This paper also introduces the architecture of the proposed system and gives some experimental results.
