fiducials
A ROS-based system for robot localization and mapping using ceiling or floor-mounted fiducial markers.
What is fiducials?
Fiducials is a ROS package that implements a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system using fiducial markers (like QR codes) mounted on ceilings or floors. It allows robots to build a map of these markers and then use them to determine their precise location and orientation in an environment. This solves the problem of reliable indoor localization for robots without relying on expensive hardware.
Robotics developers and researchers working on autonomous mobile robots, especially those needing cost-effective indoor localization solutions in structured environments.
It offers a simple, vision-based approach to robot localization using easily deployable fiducial markers, avoiding the complexity and cost of systems like LIDAR or motion capture. The ability to use both ceiling and floor mounting provides flexibility for different robot designs and applications.
