Abstract :
The work presents a novel positioning system for home service robots. The positioning system uses the difference of flight time between radio frequency and ultrasonic waves to estimate the distance. Especially, the proposed system employs multiple ultrasonic sensors to improve accuracy and position update rate. The experimental result of the proposed system is presented.
