n this study, an adaptive FastSLAM (AFastSLAM) algorithm, which is obtainedby estimating the time-varying noise statistics and improving FastSLAMalgorithm, is proposed. This improvement was accomplished by using max-imum likelihood estimation and expectation maximization criterion and aone-step smoothing algorithm in importance sampling. In addition, innovationcovarianceestimation(ICE)methodwasusedtopreventlossofpositivedefinite-ness of the process and measurement noise covariance matrices. The proposedmethodwascomparedwithFastSLAMbycalculatingtherootmeansquareerror(RMSE) using different particle numbers at varying initial process and measure-ment noise values. Simulation studies have shown that AFastSLAM providesmuch more accurate, consistent, and successful estimates than FastSLAM forboth robot and landmark positions.
