  • Abstract
    This article describes some of the current challenges in autonomous sensor and robot networks, with special focus on issues concerning the fusion of information from several sensors to improve the accuracy in the cooperative localization of objects or to help the wide-sense networked sensors to self-localize. Although many other approaches exist, the focus is on Bayesian approaches to sensor fusion and state estimation.
