AASS Seminar - Robot Localization System based on RF fadings inside tunnel-like environments

The research centre AASS arranges a seminar with Teresa Seco Salvador, ITAINNOVA, currently visiting AASS.

Abstract

Tunnel-like environments represent a challenge in terms of robot localization due to the special conditions of this type of scenarios. Traditional robot localization systems based on laser, camera or odometry sensors do not perform well due to the hostile conditions and the general lack of distinctive features. In this talk two robot localization system approaches are presented. Both of them take advantage of the periodicity nature of the RF signal fadings that appears inside tunnel-like scenarios under certain settings.
