Low cost indoor mobile robot localization system

Evaluating different landmark positioning systems within the RIDE architecture

“…A Kalman or a particle filter that is able to deal with noisy readings, can take into account information of all detected tags including odometry and allows for a reduction in the number of tags needed. A possible solution for this case is presented in [13].…”

“…Details about this low cost indoor localization system can be seen in [13]. In this section we contrast the results with the ones presented here for the StarGazer.…”

“…The IR light source is with the tracking camera rather than the tracked point that only reflects light. Figure 4 shows this solution that has been presented in [13].…”

“…This can be used to implement other localization systems such as the ones presented in [13] However, special care has to be taken when other IR sources can be found in the FOV such as sunlight when the robot navigates close to windows or shiny metal bars on the ceiling that can reflect the IR led light. These can produce false tag readings when the robot is below them.…”

Design and performance evaluation of wiimote-based two-dimensional indoor localization systems for indoor mobile robot control

“…This local/global coordinate approach is also adapted by López et al [32] for demonstrating their work in robot localization using wiimote. Although similar in principle, their application is mainly on single zone and the scheme could be challenging if the goal is to extend the application area to a multi-zone localization.…”
