FAST‑LIO2 LiDAR‑IMU SLAM Implementation and Evaluation on Qiji Autonomous Patrol Vehicles
This article presents the technical background of SLAM, explains why GNSS‑based navigation fails in complex urban environments, describes the selection and testing of several LiDAR‑IMU SLAM algorithms—including FAST‑LIO2—on Qiji unmanned vehicles, and details the hardware configuration, algorithmic improvements, experimental workflow, and positioning results achieved in a real‑world patrol project.
