Abstract :
Usually localization in mobile robots is interested in only the geographical position of the robot in space. However, to utilize mobile robots in general environments such as a hospital, an office, a school etc., we need more than conventional localization. We propose a new localization method that watches the entire space as well as the mobile robot. Some experimental results are shown to show the performance and the merits of proposed localization method
