Magnetic Mapping for Robot Navigation in Indoor Environments [PDF]
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.

Magnetic strips as landmarks for mobile robot navigation [PDF]
In this paper, a low-cost localization system designed for mobile robots is introduced. The system has been developed for a teaching aid where a mobile robot operates in a maze. The mobile robot is navigated by a high level control system where path-planning is executed; however, autonomous execution of the plan is required from the robot.

Endovascular Magnetically Guided Robots: Navigation Modeling and Optimization [PDF]
This paper deals with the benefits of using a nonlinear model-based approach for controlling magnetically guided therapeutic microrobots in the cardiovascular system. Such robots used for minimally invasive interventions consist of a polymer binded aggregate of nanosized ferromagnetic particles functionalized by drug-conjugated micelles.

Magnetic-Field-Inspired Navigation for Quadcopter Robot in Unknown Environments [PDF]
In this paper, a magnetic-field-inspired robot navigation is used to navigate an under-actuated quad-copter towards the desired position amidst previously-unknown arbitrary-shaped convex obstacles. Taking inspiration from the phenomena of magnetic field interaction with charged particles observed in nature, the algorithm outperforms previous reactive ...
