For the video we chose to demonstrate our software components for real-time 3D data based obstacle avoidance and on-line 3DOF-SLAM. The video shows a KURT robot equipped with a 3D laser scanner wandering around in an example scenario. By continuously pitching the laser scanner, the robot is able to avoid obstacles that would not be perceivable with a standard 2D laser scanner mounted in the same height. Simultaneously the robot builds an internal environment representation modeling the visited regions. We chose these components because we got a lot of positive feedback during the competitions in Atlanta 2007.
