Loop-closure detection plays a pivotal role in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). It serves to minimize cumulative errors and ensure the overall consistency of the generated map. This paper introduces a multi-sensor fusion-based loop-closure detection scheme (TS-LCD) to address the challenges of low robustness and inaccurate loop-closure detection encountered in single-sensor systems under varying lighting conditions and structurally similar environments. Our method comprises two innovative components: a timestamp synchronization method based on data processing and interpolation, and a two-order loop-closure detection scheme based on the fusion validation of visual and laser loops. Experimental results on the publicly available KITTI dataset reveal that the proposed method outperforms baseline algorithms, achieving a significant average reduction of 2.76% in the trajectory error (TE) and a notable decrease of 1.381 m per 100 m in the relative error (RE). Furthermore, it boosts loop-closure detection efficiency by an average of 15.5%, thereby effectively enhancing the positioning accuracy of odometry.

Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) algorithms play a critical role in autonomous exploration tasks requiring mobile robots to autonomously explore and gather information in unknown or hazardous environments where human access may be difficult or dangerous. However, due to the resource-constrained nature of mobile robots, they are hindered from performing long-term and large-scale tasks. In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-robot dense SLAM system that utilizes a centralized structure to alleviate the computational and memory burdens on the agents (i.

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) frequently encounter challenges in providing reliable navigation and positioning within urban canyons due to signal obstruction. Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) offers an alternative for autonomous navigation, but they are susceptible to accumulating errors. To mitigate these influences, a LiDAR-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system is often employed.

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is an essential component for smart robot operations in unknown confined spaces such as indoors, tunnels and underground. This paper proposes a novel tightly-coupled ranging-LiDAR-inertial simultaneous localization and mapping framework, namely RLI-SLAM, which is designed to be high-accuracy, fast and robust in the long-term fast-motion scenario, and features two key innovations. The first one is tightly fusing the ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging and the inertial sensor to prevent the initial bias and long-term drift of the inertial sensor so that the point cloud distortion of the fast-moving LiDAR can be effectively compensated in real-time.
