Introduction to Part 3
The ultimate application of this work is a new reliable SLAM method suited for long-term missions in poor environments. The resolution of this localization problem requires a set of elementary tools that have been developed in Part 2. Chapter 6 aims to apply the new contractors on inter-temporal constraints of interest for the SLAM.
However, in order to soundly solve the problem, we still need to study a final constraint. This will be related to the development of another tool to prove loops along robot trajectories. Chapter 5 is our third contribution, in which we combine the topological theory together with interval analysis and tubes. The result is a new loop existence test that will be directly applied in the last chapter for underwater applications.
