Autonomous Exploration of Large Unknown Indoor Environments for Dense 3D Model Building

Autonomous exploration and mapping of indoor environments is important task for building inspections. Mapping of large environments in 3D requires high memory and computational consumptions. In this paper, we present a 3D exploration strategy for a mobile robot equipped with a 3D laser scanner. Our strategy does not require a map of the environment and ensures on-line exploration of large unknown spaces. We propose a room detection algorithm and focus on the room-by-room exploration keeping the memory and computational requirements low. We evaluated our strategy by simulations and experimentally using a real mobile robot.
