Algorithm for Mobile Robot Localization Based on Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks

Li Shaowei, Xiang Cairong

Abstract—Mobile robot localization has been considered to be an important task in the field of robotics research. Recurrent Convolution Neural Networks -based Mobile Robot Localization (RCNN-MRL) Algorithm is proposed in this paper. RCNN-MRL estimates self-position from the first person view captured by a camera on a robot using Recurrent Convolution Neural Networks (RCNN).It uses a regression model for localization using RCNN capable of processing consecutive images. We use simulated environments where a two-wheel robot moves randomly, and analyze the performance of localization. Our experiments show that RCNN model can estimate the self-position of the robot.
