Magnetic Mapping for Robot Navigation in Indoor Environments [PDF]
2021 International Conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN), 2021 Localization has always been one of the fundamental problems in the field of robotic navigation. The emergence of GPS came as a solution for localization systems in outdoor environments. However, the accuracy of GPS is not always sufficient and GPS based systems often fail and are not suited for indoor environments.
