About

Daniel Konings is a researcher at the forefront of indoor positioning systems, with a particular focus on leveraging visible light communication (VLC) technologies. His work centers on developing hybrid positioning solutions that integrate visible light with other sensing modalities to achieve high-accuracy localization, especially for mobile robotics. Konings’ most cited paper, "HVLP: Hybrid visible light positioning of a mobile robot" (2017), has garnered 6 citations and represents a key contribution to the field. In this work, he demonstrated how energy-efficient LED lighting infrastructure can be minimally modified to create a functional indoor positioning system, enabling a mobile robot to navigate with improved precision. This hybrid approach—combining VLC with other sensors—addresses the limitations of pure optical or RF-based systems, offering a more robust solution for cluttered indoor environments. Konings’ research is particularly notable for its practical, implementation-focused methodology, showing how existing lighting can be repurposed without significant infrastructure overhauls. His work continues to influence the development of cost-effective, scalable positioning systems for autonomous robots and smart environments.
