چکیده
The importance of location based service has been recently addressed in many literatures and thus various positioning schemes for outdoors as well as indoors have been introduced. However, there has been a practical issue of implementation over various positioning schemes, although accurate positioning performance can be achieved. In this paper, a practical indoor positioning scheme that effectively locates a pedestrian holding a laptop computer equipped with two commonly used sensors is proposed, and the performance of proposed scheme is evaluated with experiments for a simple path as well as a real route in indoor of general building at university. According to the experiment results, the positioning error was less than 1m in simple path, while the average error was 1.61m for a real route.

Estimation of Visual Maps with a Robot Network Equipped with Vision Sensors
In this paper we present an approach to the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem using a team of autonomous vehicles equipped with vision sensors. The SLAM problem considers the case in which a mobile robot is equipped with a particular sensor, moves along the environment, obtains measurements with its sensors and uses them to construct a model of the space where it evolves. In ...

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 کاملAutomatic Computer Detection and Power Estimation in Indoor Environments from Imagery
In this paper, we describe an automated technique for estimating power consumption by computers in buildings by processing visual imagery collected during a walkthrough of the building. This is an important problem since desktop and laptops are the largest contributors to electricity consumption in most large commercial buildings. The images used for estimation are obtained by a backpack equipp...
متن کاملDesign of an Adaptive Fuzzy Estimator for Force/Position Tracking in Robot Manipulators
This paper presents a stable new algorithm for force/position control in robot manipulators. In this algorithm, position vectors are measured by sensors and then used in the control law. Since using force sensor has some issues such as high costs and technical problems, an approach is presented to overcome these issues. In this respect, force sensor is replaced by an adaptive fuzzy estimator to...
متن کاملMobile Robot Indoor Localization Using Artificial Neural Networks and Wireless Networks
Accurate position information of an agent (i.e. robot, animal, or people) is a requirement to accomplish several tasks. Some sensors like GPS provide global position estimation but it is restricted to outdoor environments and has an inherent imprecision of a few meters. In indoor spaces, other sensors like lasers and cameras can be used for position estimation, but they require landmarks (or ma...
