    摘要: The method and device disclosed herein presents a method that includes capturing, by an optical sensor disposed on a device moving in an environment, a plurality of optical data at respective locations within a portion of the environment; capturing, by a wheel encoder disposed on the device, a set of encoder data corresponding to the plurality of optical data at the respective locations; determining a first relative motion based on the plurality of optical data; determining a corresponding second relative motion based on the set of encoder data. In accordance with determining that a difference between the first relative motion and the corresponding second relative motion is larger than a first threshold: increasing a counter indicating a slip event of the wheel encoder. The slip event corresponds to a wheel of the device advancing and the corresponding second relative motion being below a second threshold.
