Analysis of Indoor Robot Localization Using Ultrasonic Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes the Monte Carlo localization (MCL) method, which estimates the pose of an indoor mobile robot. A mobile robot must know where it is to navigate in an indoor environment. The MCL technique is one of the most influential and popular techniques for estimation of robot position and orientation using a particle filter. For the analysis, we perform experiments in an indoor environment with a differential drive robot and ultrasonic range sensor system. The analysis uses MATLAB for implementation of the MCL and investigates the effects of the control parameters on the MCL performance. The control parameters are the uncertainty of the motion model of the mobile robot and the noise level of the measurement model of the range sensor.

Map-merging in Multi-robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Process Using Two Heterogeneous Ground Robots
In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...
متن کاملScheduling of Indoor Mobile Robot Using Ultrasonic Sensors
This article proposes the scheduling scheme using ultrasonic beacons in a multi-block workspace. Indoor scheduling schemes using ultrasonic sensors have been widely studied due to their cheap price and high accuracy. However, ultrasonic sensors are susceptible to environmental noises from their propagation characteristics. On account of their decay phenomena when they are transmitted over a lon...

We present a sensor network based indoor localization system that uses ultrasonic distance measurements for realtime localization of flying four-rotor robots. Such quadrocopters are on-board sensor controlled systems. They are very sensitive to lateral drifts, which cannot be compensated by mounted sensors. In our work, we provide a framework for time-of-flight based localization systems relyin...
متن کاملFusing Range Measurements from Ultrasonic Beacons and a Laser Range Finder for Localization of a Mobile Robot
This paper proposes a method for mobile robot localization in a partially unknown indoor environment. The method fuses two types of range measurements: the range from the robot to the beacons measured by ultrasonic sensors and the range from the robot to the walls surrounding the robot measured by a laser range finder (LRF). For the fusion, the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is utilized. Because...

This paper investigates the use of ranging data collected from ultrasonic sensors mounted on a two-wheeled mobile robot, Pioneer 3-DX, to build an occupancy grid map for an unknown indoor environment based on fuzzy sensor fusion of the ultrasonic ranging data. Because of uncertainties inevitably encountered by using the ultrasonic sensors, a more reliable sensor model is derived to solve the pr...
