Abstract
Local sensing based navigation maps can form a basis for autonomous navigation of a mobile platform. An example method includes obtaining real-time environment information that indicates an environment within a proximity of the mobile platform based on first sensor(s) carried by the mobile platform, detecting navigation features based on sensor data obtained from the first sensor(s) or second sensor(s) carried by the mobile platform, integrating information corresponding to the navigation features with the environment information to generate a local navigation map, and generating navigation command(s) for controlling a motion of the mobile platform based on the local navigation map.
