Exploiting Sensor Fusion for Mobile Robot Localization

Abstract

When we attempt to trace a mobile robot relative to its surroundings, this phenomenon is delineated as Robot localization. Localization is regarded as most significant task for an independent robot on the basis of knowledge of the robot's location, decisions about future actions can be derived. In this paper we propose an approach to determine accurate position of mobile robotic devices by integrating data received from different kind of sensors. We use data from accelerometers, gyroscopes and low-cost encoders to get information about robot traffic.
