Experimental Analysis for Position Estimation using Trilateration and RSSI in Industry 4.0

Abstract

With the introduction of industry 4.0, the role of robots especially autonomous bots has increased exponentially. The next thing in order to improve the navigation for these bots is the need for a proper indoor navigation system. The paper proposes experimental analysis for estimating the position using trilateration. The experiment includes three wifi nodes operating at 2.4GHz working as wifi beacons. The paper provides an efficient and cost-effective solution to estimate the approximate position of the node in terms of coordinates. The paper also includes a working mobile application to showcase the node's position in real-time in the form of a 2d map.
