Self-localization in Large-Scale Environments for the Bremen Autonomous Wheelchair
[chapter]
Spatial Cognition III
This paper presents RouteLoc, a new approach for the absolute self-localization of mobile robots in structured large-scale environments. ...
It scales up very well, and is thus suitable for self-localization of service robots in large-scale environments. The evaluation of RouteLoc is done with a pure metric approach as reference method. ...
