Akshat Vikram Singh, Shubham Kumar Singh, Harsh Pal, Deepali Kamthania, Nivedita Palia · 2024
The Automated Environment Mapping Robot (AEVMR) is an indoor mapping robot in mobile robotics. It combines hardware and software modules for navigation, data acquisition, transfer, and mapping. The setup includes a computer for 2D environment construction, a mobile robot collecting sensory data, and wireless communication for data exchange. The aim is to create a reliable architecture for self-driving robots. The paper introduces a multi-layered system for real-time monitoring and control, consisting of a primary layer on a Raspberry Pi 4 B+ managing communication and decision making via ROS, a secondary layer on ATmega 328p for sensor data collection, and a remote layer using an API for data processing like point cloud generation, intersection detection, map creation, and vital monitoring. This system enables real time control, historical data access, and efficient functions such as point cloud generation and map creation, enhancing its versatility for applications requiring monitoring and control
