Acoustic Echo-Localization for Pipe Inspection Robots
2020 IEEE International Conference on Multisensor Fusion and Integration for Intelligent Systems (MFI), 2020 Robot localization in water and wastewater pipes is essential for path planning and for localization of faults, but the environment makes it challenging. Conventional localization suffers in pipes due to the lack of features and due to accumulating uncertainty caused by the limited perspective of typical sensors.
