    Abstract: Systems and methods for robotic mapping are disclosed. In some exemplary implementations, a robot can travel in an environment. From travelling in the environment, the robot can create a graph comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein each node corresponds to a scan taken by a sensor of the robot at a location in the environment. In some exemplary implementations, the robot can generate a map of the environment from the graph. In some cases, to facilitate map generation, the robot can constrain the graph to start and end at a substantially similar location. The robot can also perform scan matching on extended scan groups, determined from identifying overlap between scans, to further determine the location of features in a map.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for robotic path planning are disclosed. In some implementations of the present disclosure, a robot can generate a cost map associated with an environment of the robot. The cost map can comprise a plurality of pixels each corresponding to a location in the environment, where each pixel can have an associated cost. The robot can further generate a plurality of masks having projected path portions for the travel of the robot within the environment, where each mask comprises a plurality of mask pixels that correspond to locations in the environment. The robot can then determine a mask cost associated with each mask based at least in part on the cost map and select a mask based at least in part on the mask cost. Based on the projected path portions within the selected mask, the robot can navigate a space.
