Abstract
Abstract
 Objective: Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a quite common and interesting problem in mobile robotics. It is the basis of safe autonomous navigation of mobile robots and the entrance to new combined applications with a manipulator for instance. Method: In order to find a solution to the SLAM problem, the ROS middleware and the MRPT were selected. Autonomous navigation was tested using two methods, the MRPT navigation ROS package, which is a reactive navigation method based on Trajectory Parameter Space (TP-Space) transformations, and the ROS navigation stack, a standard for differential drive and holonomic wheeled robots. Results: To validate the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches, a mobile robot with strong kinematic constraints (Ackermann-steering-type) known as Summit was used. As an additional work, an application using the mobile robot Summit and a robotic manipulator (Powerball) was carried out, with the intention of picking and placing objects of the mobile robot, a widely spread application among service robotics, especially, in the area of industrial logistics. Conclusions: Finally, it is concluded that with the tests carried out with the robot, it was possible to demonstrate autonomous navigation, using the two mentioned methods.
