Design and Implementation of Outdoor Navigation Robot System Based on Google Map API and Improved YOLOv7-tiny
摘要
To suppress the world-wise impact on the manpower of a sudden epidemic pandemic, the demands of inexpensive autonomous robots for outdoor deliveries of food, medicines, and pollution will have fast growth. Traditional autonomous robots rely on time-consuming offline SLAM mapping, constraining their adaptability and applicability in large-range outdoor environments. Moreover, varying fields require repetitive map construction. Outdoor settings introduce mobile obstacles, further reducing SLAM mapping navigation system’s practicality and stability. To address these critical problems, this paper presents an innovative non-SLAM mapping outdoor navigation technology, enhancing outdoor navigation system stability while significantly reducing costs. This cost-effective navigation system holds promise for outdoor robots, providing both affordability and deployment flexibility. The next stage for developing our robot is attentive to more substantial benefits on societal safety and healthcare.
