In this paper a method for estimation of position and motion of a mobile robot in an indoor environment is introduced. The proposed method uses WLAN signal strength to estimate the global position of a mobile robot in an office building. Thus signal strengths of the received access points are stored in the radio map in calibration phase. In localization phase the stored values are compared with actually measured one’s. Therefore a fingerprinting algorithm, that was introduced before, is used. The improvement of the presented work is the multi sensor fusion using Kalman filter, which enhances the accuracy of fingerprinting algorithms and tracking of the robot. For this reason odometric and gyroscopic sensors of the robot are fused with the estimated position of the fingerprinting algorithm. The paper presents the experimental results of measurements made in an office building.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
