Abstract

Accurate localization in industrial robotics is one of the crucial attributes. One of the most popular localization approaches in robotics is localization with LiDAR. However, when a robot enters a rough environment with smoke, dust or fog, the LiDAR sensor may provide inaccurate measurements. This paper is aimed to confirm the influence of smoke of different densities on LiDAR-based localization and provide a possible solution to overcome the erroneous measurements of light detection sensors.

A simulation environment was designed to analyze the level of smoke impact. It includes the simulation of warehouse premises, an industrial robotic platform equipped with LiDAR together with smoke of different densities. Preliminary results from the simulation verify that smoke obfuscates the localization algorithm. It has also been observed that the simulator response time increases considerably when the number of particles increases.
