HIERARCHICAL LOCATIVE REASONING FOR AUTONOMOUS MOBILE PLATFORMS

In this paper, the authors describe a fuzzy-based approach to self localization to support real-time indoor robot navigation. An hierarchical representation of map and environmental objects that are perceived from sensors is used. Each object is matched against a map object to obtain an estimate of the robot's location with respect to the map. Fuzzy techniques are used to characterize partial matches and to combine estimates discerned by distinct objects.
