Abstract
In order to improve the accuracy of visual SLAM algorithms in a dynamic scene, instance segmentation is widely used to eliminate dynamic feature points. However, the existing segmentation technology has low accuracy, especially for the contour of the object, and the amount of calculation of instance segmentation is large, limiting the speed of visual SLAM based on instance segmentation. Therefore, this paper proposes a contour optimization hybrid dilated convolutional neural network (CO-HDC) algorithm, which can perform a lightweight calculation on the basis of improving the accuracy of contour segmentation. Firstly, a hybrid dilated convolutional neural network (HDC) is used to increase the receptive field, which is defined as the size of the region in the input that produces the feature. Secondly, the contour quality evaluation (CQE) algorithm is proposed to enhance the contour, retaining the highest quality contour and solving the problem of distinguishing dynamic feature points from static feature points at the contour. Finally, in order to match the mapping speed of visual SLAM, the Beetle Antennae Search Douglas–Peucker (BAS-DP) algorithm is proposed to lighten the contour extraction. The experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed visual SLAM based on the CO-HDC algorithm performs well in the field of pose estimation and map construction on the TUM dataset. Compared with ORB-SLAM2, the Root Mean Squared Error (Rmse) of the proposed method in absolute trajectory error is about 30 times smaller and is only 0.02 m.

Abstract
Semantic information usually contains a description of the environment content, which enables mobile robot to understand the environment and improves its ability to interact with the environment. In high-level human–computer interaction application, the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system not only needs higher accuracy and robustness, but also has the ability to construct a static semantic map of the environment. However, traditional visual SLAM lacks semantic information. Furthermore, in an actual scene, dynamic objects will reduce the system performance and also generate redundancy when constructing map. these all directly affect the robot’s ability to perceive and understand the surrounding environment. Based on ORB-SLAM3, this article proposes a new Algorithm that uses semantic information and the global dense optical flow as constraints to generate dynamic-static mask and eliminate dynamic objects. then, to further construct a static 3D semantic map under indoor dynamic environments, a fusion of 2D semantic information and 3D point cloud is carried out. the experimental results on different types of dataset sequences show that, compared with original ORB-SLAM3, both Absolute Pose Error (APE) and Relative Pose Error (RPE) have been ameliorated to varying degrees, especially on freiburg3-walking-xyz, the APE reduced by 97.78% from the original average value of 0.523, and RPE reduced by 52.33% from the original average value of 0.0193. Compared with DS-SLAM and DynaSLAM, our system improves real-time performance while ensuring accuracy and robustness. Meanwhile, the expected map with environmental semantic information is built, and the map redundancy caused by dynamic objects is successfully reduced. the test results in real scenes further demonstrate the effect of constructing static semantic maps and prove the effectiveness of our Algorithm.

Abstract
In recent years, simultaneous localization and mapping in dynamic environments (dynamic SLAM) has attracted significant attention from both academia and industry. Some pioneering work on this technique has expanded the potential of robotic applications. Compared to standard SLAM under the static world assumption, dynamic SLAM divides features into static and dynamic categories and leverages each type of feature properly. Therefore, dynamic SLAM can provide more robust localization for intelligent robots that operate in complex dynamic environments. Additionally, to meet the demands of some high-level tasks, dynamic SLAM can be integrated with multiple object tracking. This article presents a survey on dynamic SLAM from the perspective of feature choices. A discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of different visual features is provided in this article.

Abstract
The traditional simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system uses static points of the environment as features for real-time localization and mapping. When there are few available point features, the system is difficult to implement. A feasible solution is to introduce line features. In complex scenarios containing rich line segments, the description of line segments is not strongly differentiated, which can lead to incorrect association of line segment data, thus introducing errors into the system and aggravating the cumulative error of the system. To address this problem, a point-line stereo visual SLAM system incorporating semantic invariants is proposed in this paper. This system improves the accuracy of line feature matching by fusing line features with image semantic invariant information. When defining the error function, the semantic invariant is fused with the reprojection error function, and the semantic constraint is applied to reduce the cumulative error of the poses in the long-term tracking process. Experiments on the Office sequence of the TartanAir dataset and the KITTI dataset show that this system improves the matching accuracy of line features and suppresses the cumulative error of the SLAM system to some extent, and the mean relative pose error (RPE) is 1.38 and 0.0593 m, respectively.

Abstract
Mobile manipulation, which has more flexibility than fixed-base manipulation, has always been an important topic in the field of robotics. However, for sophisticated operation in complex environments, efficient localization and dynamic tracking grasp still face enormous challenges. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a mobile manipulation method integrating laser-reflector-enhanced adaptive Monte Carlo localization (AMCL) algorithm and a dynamic tracking and grasping algorithm. First, by fusing the information of laser-reflector landmarks to adjust the weight of particles in AMCL, the localization accuracy of mobile platforms can be improved. Second, deep-learning-based multiple-object detection and visual servo are exploited to efficiently track and grasp dynamic objects. Then, a mobile manipulation system integrating the above two algorithms into a robotic with a 6-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) operation arm is implemented in an indoor environment. Technical components, including localization, multiple-object detection, dynamic tracking grasp, and the integrated system, are all verified in real-world scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy and superiority of our method.
