Localization with Ambient Sensors (RFID, Bluetooth)

This video documents our research efforts in localizing a mobile service robot with ambient sensors. In this case, a particle filter was used which evaluated the detections of passive UHF RFID tags and the signal strength of Bluetooth nodes. The motion model relies on odometry. Another options is to incorporate WiFi round trip times (time of arrival measurements) or to fuse all sensors. The video shows that the mobile system can track its pose quite accurately. The mean localization error is...
