摘要

To address issues such as low visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) positioning accuracy and poor map construction robustness caused by light variations, foliage occlusion, and texture repetition in unstructured orchard environments, this paper proposes an orchard robot navigation method based on an improved RTAB-Map algorithm. By integrating ORB-SLAM3 as the visual odometry module within the RTAB-Map framework, the system achieves significantly improved accuracy and stability in pose estimation. During the post-processing stage of map generation, a height filtering strategy is proposed to effectively filter out low-hanging branch point clouds, thereby generating raster maps that better meet navigation requirements. The navigation layer integrates the ROS (Robot Operating System) Navigation framework, employing the A* algorithm for global path planning while incorporating the TEB (Timed Elastic Band) algorithm to achieve real-time local obstacle avoidance and dynamic adjustment. Experimental results demonstrate that the improved system exhibits higher mapping consistency in simulated orchard environments, with the odometry's absolute trajectory error reduced by approximately 45.5%. The robot can reliably plan paths and traverse areas with low-hanging branches. This study provides a solution for autonomous navigation in agricultural settings that balances precision with practicality.
