Abstract: The disclosure provides an environment perception device and method of a mobile vehicle. The environment perception device includes a camera module, a LiDAR module, a database and a processing circuit. The camera module photographs a field near the mobile vehicle to generate a three-dimensional (3D) image frame. The LiDAR module scans the field to generate a 3D scanned frame. The processing circuit fuses the 3D image frame and the 3D scanned frame to generate 3D object information. The processing circuit compares the 3D object information with a 3D map in the database to determine whether an object is a static object. The processing circuit performs an analysis and calculation on the 3D object information to obtain movement characteristics of the object when the object is not the static object, and skips the analysis and calculation on the 3D object information when the object is the static object.

Abstract: A robot performs simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) using a particle filter to process sensor measurements of movements of the robot in an environment and occupied locations in the environment to produce a set of particles. Each particle includes a map of the environment and a pose of the robot in the environment to represent a probability that the environment has the map oriented with respect to the pose of the robot. The robot receives a set of particles of a neighboring robot and, in response to receiving the set of particles of the neighboring robot, updates maps of probabilistically sampled particles of the robot with maps of probabilistically sampled particles of the neighboring robot. The update includes merging a map of the sampled particle of the robot with a map of the sampled particle of the neighboring robot roto-translated based on a relative pose between the robots.
