Multiple difficulties in different levels can influence the final performance of robot agents’s SLAM task, as the pipeline is long and complicated from the real world physics to the required information such as agent poses and 3-D map, which help us visualize colourful graphics scenes in AR devices or make hard decisions on the highway for autonomous driving. Many solutions are proposed for addressing each problem, respectively, with the means from classic statistic probability models to the modern data-driven deep neural network. However, the quest of improving the robot’s robustness under dynamic and complicated environments perisists and becomes more and more significant and active for nowadays robotics research. The need for improving the robustness of robot agents is imminent and regarded as one of most imperative factors for deploying robots ubiquitously in our daily life. Under this context, this thesis tries to address a small drop in the ocean of the problem of SLAM robustness, yet in a very systematic view: we try to break down the SLAM system into different and inter-influential modules. Then use the concept of "divide and conquer" for answering possible questions within each module and wishing to contribute to the community and help improve the robustness of SLAM systems under complicated conditions. With the above objectives, the contributions of the thesis are stated as follows for tackling the robustness problem from multiple angles: 1) From the image feature angle, we proposed a multiple layered image structure for improving the performance of traditional local image features under extreme conditions. Furthermore, an optimization method on linear searching and mutual information assisted convex optimization are designed for tuning the optimal parameters with the proposed structure; 2) From the geometric primitive angle, we proposed a relative pose estimation and SLAM framework under the multiple planar assumption, by keypoint feature-based and template tracker based methods, respectively. We tried to achieve better performance of mapping and tracking simultaneously with the help of a more general planar assumption. 3) From the angle of relocalization of the SLAM system, the idea is to recover the already passed locations of the robot agent for lowering the overall estimation error or when the robot is in lost status. We proposed a binary graph structure for embedding spatial information and heterogeneous data formats such as depth image, semantic information etc. The proposed method enables robotics SLAM systems to relocalize themselves with a higher success rate even under different lighting, weather and seasonal conditions.
