Evaluation of an indoor localization system for a mobile robot
Although indoor localization has been a wide researched topic, obtained
results may not fit the requirements that some domains need. Most approaches
are not able to precisely localize a fast moving object even with a complex
installation, which makes their implementation in the automated driving domain
complicated. In this publication, common technologies were analyzed and a
commercial product, called Marvelmind Indoor GPS, was chosen for our use case
in which both ultrasound and radio frequency communications are used. The
evaluation is given in a first moment on small indoor scenarios with static and
moving objects. Further tests were done on wider areas, where the system is
integrated within our Robotics Operating System (ROS)-based self-developed
'Smart PhysIcal Demonstration and evaluation Robot (SPIDER)' and the results of
these outdoor tests are compared with the obtained localization by the
installed GPS on the robot. Finally, the next steps to improve the results in
further developments are discussed
