Annotation. The crisis of 2008 put serious pressure on the food retail of the Russian Federation. After the recovery period, serious economic and political changes took place in 2014, which served as a serious blow to the still hardened economy. But despite the general fall in the market, large network players were able to strengthen their positions in the retail market and even significantly increased their revenues. The reasons and consequences of this phenomenon will be considered in the article.

Keywords: FMCG, retail, everyday goods, trends, retail chains, fast-moving goods, STM.

Summary: For solving the problem of low efficiency and low localization accuracy about EKF-SLAM algorithm in large scale and complicated environment, an improved method by adding an adaptive observation range to EKF-SLAM algorithm was presented. By setting the constraints, the observed environment scale and the number of observed landmarks for mobile robot were constrained. Deleting the landmarks which has observed but beyond the constrained scale by judge the relationship between the observation range and maximum distance, dynamically adjusting the observation range by comparing the number of observed landmarks and number of landmarks. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method could reduce the computational and improve efficiency and localization accuracy.

Key words: mobile robot, improved EKF-SLAM algorithm, landmarks.
