The method entails capturing images of the environment with a sensing device to build the stereoscopic model and then correcting a static object and a dynamic object in the environmental images with Kalman filtering to enhance the accuracy of the stereoscopic model. The prior art is a great reduction of accuracy in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in the event of increased system variation, increased complexity, or increased involved field. The method overcomes a drawback of the prior art.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a hydrogen storage device. The hydrogen storage device includes a first casing, at least one hydrogen container, at least one stress buffering unit, and a second casing. The hydrogen container is set inside the first casing. The stress buffering unit is set between the hydrogen container and the first casing. The second casing surrounds the first casing forming a second space to contain heat transfer media, thereby controlling the temperature of the hydrogen container. While the hydrogen storage materials loaded in the hydrogen container absorb hydrogen gas, the stress buffering unit can eliminate the stress caused by the volume expansion of the hydrogen storage materials so as to prevent the first casing from distortion and deformation. Thus, the hydrogen gas can be stored efficiently and safely.
