Collaborative localization of multi micro-robots based on Markov algorithm

Robot localization is one of the most fundamental problems in robotic research, especially in multi-robots system. At present, most multi MICRO robots systems only utilize external vision camera to provide location information and adopt method based on chromatic image segmentation techniques to localize each robot. This method has high requirement on system hardware while is less robust to run in practical simulation. This paper introduces a localization method of multi micro-robots based on Markov algorithm, which not only uses image captured by external camera but also motion model of each robot to perform localization task. It requires less system resources while gives more robust results. This approach is also scalable and efficient to deal with a system that has a larger number of micro robots.
