Mobile robot autonomous localization is the basic problem of the robot navigation. In the outdoor environment, GPS is a general method to get accuracy position, but, the accuracy, stability and reliability of GPS positioning are greatly affected by the existence of the shelter, in this paper,the kinematic model of mobile robot and the calculation method of its odometer are given,At the same time, the 3D laser point cloud 3D-NDT matching method is expounded in detail. And the method merging the odometer and the3D-NDT is presented. A series of experiments are conducted with a self-designed mobile robot platform in large-scale outdoor environments, and the experimental results show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
