SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR MERGING SENSOR DATA
Robotic systems and associated methods are described herein. The robotic system may collect measurements from various sensors corresponding to motion of the robotic system, the surrounding environment of the robotic system, or both. The robotic system may generate measurement data based on the collected measurements. Measurements from a particular sensor may be processed in conjunction with different sensors of the robotic system, which may facilitate more accurate or more useful measurement data. The systems and methods of the present disclosure enable the detection, labeling, and locating of features in real time or near real time using the robotic system with little or no reliance on human interaction to detect and map the features. The disclosure provides enhanced accuracy and efficiency as it enhances the functionality and reduces the reliance on human detection of features.
