  2. Proximity Sensors • The central task is to determine P(z|x), i.e., the probability of a measurement z given that the robot is at position x. • Question: Where do the probabilities come from? • Approach: Let’s try to explain a measurement.

  3. Beam-based Sensor Model • Scan z consists of K measurements. • Individual measurements are independent given the robot position.

  4. Beam-based Sensor Model

  5. Typical Measurement Errors of an Range Measurements • Beams reflected by obstacles • Beams reflected by persons / caused by crosstalk • Random measurements • Maximum range measurements

  6. Proximity Measurement • Measurement can be caused by … • a known obstacle. • cross-talk. • an unexpected obstacle (people, furniture, …). • missing all obstacles (total reflection, glass, …). • Noise is due to uncertainty … • in measuring distance to known obstacle. • in position of known obstacles. • in position of additional obstacles. • whether obstacle is missed.

  9. Resulting Mixture Density How can we determine the model parameters?

  10. Raw Sensor Data Measured distances for expected distance of 300 cm. Sonar Laser

  11. Approximation • Maximize log likelihood of the data • Search space of n-1 parameters. • Hill climbing • Gradient descent • Genetic algorithms • … • Deterministically compute the n-th parameter to satisfy normalization constraint.

  19. Summary Beam-based Model • Assumes independence between beams. • Justification? • Overconfident! • Models physical causes for measurements. • Mixture of densities for these causes. • Assumes independence between causes. Problem? • Implementation • Learn parameters based on real data. • Different models should be learned for different angles at which the sensor beam hits the obstacle. • Determine expected distances by ray-tracing. • Expected distances can be pre-processed.
