Guidance of Mobile Robot Navigation in Urban Environment using Human-Centered Cloud Map

Autonomous navigation in a city-scale environment brings several technical challenges that are difficult to solve by traditional approaches. In this paper, we briefly discuss the limitations of the conventional navigation methods based on robot-centered environment modeling and understanding, and present recent an ongoing developments of the DeepGuider Project. The DeepGuider Project aims to develop a navigation guidance system that enables robots to navigate in urban environment without pre-mapping of the environment. In the paper, the main concepts and overall system architecture is briefly presented.
