Description
Summary:This paper presents a modified open-source RGB-D SLAM system that aims to address the problem of multi-robot SLAM. The modified RGB-D SLAM system was tested with quadrotors which are equipped with RGB-D cameras as the only sensor for solving the SLAM problem. Two quadrotors are tasked to autonomously explore an unknown indoor environment using a 2D navigation stack while still producing a 3D map using RGB-D SLAM. The paper also wishes to describe the implementation of a control interface where RPYT channels of a commercially available flight controller can be controlled to achieve autonomous flight control. Height and yaw position control were also implemented.
