Abstract
To minimize the deficiency of the existing indoor location methods for mobile robots, the RSSI (received signal strength indication) model of WLAN is established. Then a combined location method for mobile robots based on DR (dead reckoning) and WLAN is proposed, which employs PMLA (probability matching location algorithm) and KF (Kalman filter) for information fusion. Simulation results reveal that the combined location approach works well in eliminating the cumulative error of DR and reducing the fluctuation of WLAN location. As a result, the proposed method is capable of enhancing the positioning accuracy of mobile robots to a certain extent, promising a low-cost and reliable location scheme for its development.
