Relative Localization Method of Multiple Micro Robots Based on Simple Sensors

Model-Based Relative Localization for Cooperative Robots Using Stereo Vision

In the last years, Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) have been receiving great attention, as they can be effectively employed in several fields. Generally, for a collaborative behaviour to be successful, a precise localization strategy is required. A number of collective positioning schemes are available in literature, which mainly differ depending on the sensors and on the cooperation strategies adopt...

Localization of mobile robots: Development and comparative evaluation of algorithms based on odometric and inertial sensors

Vision Based Real-time Localization of Multiple Mobile Robots

This paper describes the design of a vision based real-time localization system capable of tracking multiple robots in a real-time fashion. A fuzzy framework is used to describe the system in a way that is implementation independent while being easily deployed using standard hardware and software. The proposed architecture allows the use of multiple cameras and can be easily implemented in a pa...

Localization and Navigation Assisted by Networked Cooperating Sensors and Robots Localization and Navigation Assisted by Networked Cooperating Sensors and Robots

In this paper we discuss how a network of sensors and robots can cooperate to solve important robotics problems such as localization and navigation. We use a robot to localize sensor nodes, and we then use these localized nodes to navigate robots and humans through the sensorized space. We explore these novel ideas with results from two large-scale sensor network and robot experiments involving...

Sensor based localization for multiple mobile robots using virtual link

Mobile robots are used for a wide range of purposes such as mapping an environment and transporting material goods. Regardless of the specific application, the navigation of the mobile robot is usually divided into three separate parts: localiza-tion, path planning and path execution. Localization is the process of determining the location of the robot with respect to a reference coordinate sys...
