Abstract: Disclosed are a wall-climbing aerial robot mechanism and a method of controlling the same. The method of controlling a wall-climbing aerial robot includes allowing the aerial robot to fly towards a structure, allowing the aerial robot to approach the structure and recognize a wall of the structure, allowing the aerial robot to calculate a trajectory for landing on the wall of the structure, approach the wall of the structure after taking an orientation, and be attached on the wall of the structure, and allowing the aerial robot to move along the wall of the structure to perform a task.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for robust localization in outdoor environments is provided. The localization method includes the steps of receiving scanner data from localization means and receiving angle information of a mobile device from an angle sensor, correcting the scanner data based on the received angle information, performing an Iterative Closest Point (ICP) mechanism for the corrected scanner data and generating a first constraint, and localizing the mobile device based on a graph structure under the first constraint.
