Underwater scene is highly unstructured, full of various noise interferences. Moreover, GPS
information is not available in the underwater environment, which thus brings huge …

The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of RF signals is a cost-effective solution for
distance estimation, which makes it a practical choice for localization schemes in wireless …

Although ground robots have been successfully used for many years in manufacturing, the
capability of aerial robots to agilely navigate in the often sparse and static upper part of …

Abstract A Range Only Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (RO-SLAM) problem is
considered in this paper. The robot is a unicycle like vehicle equipped with encoders on the …

In this study, we address challenges in multi-robot localization, with a particular focus on
cooperative localization and the observability analysis of relative pose estimation …

Compared with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problems based on Lidar or
visual sensors, range-only SLAM (RO-SLAM) is lacking bearing information. It brings …

For any robot to effectively traverse its environment, it requires a map and its location along
with the orientation within that map. Often a map may not be available if the robot is …

Range-only localization has applications as diverse as underwater navigation, drone
tracking and indoor localization. While the theoretical foundations of lateration-range-only …

Bathymetric simultaneous localization and mapping (BSLAM) can accurately locate an
autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in deep-sea missions, but it cannot provide real-time …

In this study, we constructed a 3D range-only (RO) localization algorithm based on improved
unscented Kalman filtering (UKF). The algorithm can determine the location of unknown …
