APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LOCALIZING ROBOT HAVING ROBUSTNESS TO DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTS

An apparatus for localizing a robot having robustness to a dynamic environment includes a map building unit which builds a map based on SLAM; a localizing unit which acquires first feature from sensor data acquired by a sensor mounted in a robot and localizes the robot using the first feature acquired from the sensor data based on the map built by the map building unit; and a map updating unit which reduces an error caused by the movement of the robot by correcting the first feature using an estimated position of the robot with regard to a feature obtained from a static object, among the first features acquired by the localizing unit.
