Indoor Localization for an Autonomous Model Car: A Marker-Based Multi-Sensor Fusion Framework (2310.05198v1)

Published 8 Oct 2023 in cs.RO

Abstract: Global navigation satellite systems readily provide accurate position information when localizing a robot outdoors. However, an analogous standard solution does not exist yet for mobile robots operating indoors. This paper presents an integrated framework for indoor localization and experimental validation of an autonomous driving system based on an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) model car. The global pose of the model car is obtained by fusing information from fiducial markers, inertial sensors and wheel odometry. In order to achieve robust localization, we investigate and compare two extensions to the Extended Kalman Filter; first with adaptive noise tuning and second with Chi-squared test for measurement outlier detection. An efficient and low-cost ground truth measurement method using a single LiDAR sensor is also proposed to validate the results. The performance of the localization algorithms is tested on a complete autonomous driving system with trajectory planning and model predictive control.
