The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

Original abstract

The navigation system is at the heart of any mobile robot it comprises of SLAM and path planning units, which is utilized by the robot to generate a map of the environment, localize itself within it and determine an optimal a path to the destination. This paper describes the conceptualization, development, simulation and hardware implementation of GenNav a generic indoor navigation system for any mobile aerial or ground robot. The generalization is brought about by modularizing and creating independence between the software computation and hardware actuation units by providing an alternate source of odometry from the LiDAR eliminating the requirement for dedicated odometry sensors. The odometry feedback from the LiDAR can be used by the navigation computation unit and the system can be generalized to a wide variety of robots, with different type and orientation of actuators
