Indoor robot/human localization using dynamic triangulation and wireless Pyroelectric Infrared sensory fusion approaches

Abstract

Indoor localization and monitoring system of robots and people are essential issues in robotics research. Several monitoring systems are currently under development by different investigators but they do encounter significant difficulties. For instance, a Pyroelectric Infrared (PIR) system provides less accurate information of human location and is restricted when there are multiple targets. Furthermore, a Radio Frequency (RF) localization system is constrained by its limited accuracy.
