摘要： Disclosed is a mapping method comprising operating at least one mobile robot comprising at least two cameras and at least one processing component; and taking visual images with at least two cameras; and extracting at least straight lines from the visual images with at least one processing component; and generating map data using at least the extracted straight lines from the visual images. Also disclosed is a mobile robot comprising at least two cameras adapted to take visual images of an operating area; and at least one processing component adapted to at least extract straight lines from the visual images taken by the at least two cameras and generate map data based at least partially on the images; and a communication component adapted to at least send and receive data, particularly image and/or map data. Further disclosed is an assembly of mobile robots comprising at least two mobile robots, and each of the robots comprising at least two cameras adapted to take visual images of an operating area; at least one processing component adapted to at least extract straight lines from the visual images taken by the at least two cameras and generate map data based at least partially on the images; and at least one communication component adapted to at least send and receive data at least between the robots, particularly image and/or map data.
