Magnetic Maps of Indoor Environments for Precise Localization of Legged and Non-legged Locomotion

, 2013
The magnetic field in indoor environments is rich in features and exceptionally easy to sense. In conjunction with any form of odometry, such as wheel- or IMUbased, a map of this field can be used to precisely localize a human or robot in indoor ...

Public Sustainability: Thematic Mapping, Theoretical Approaches and Emerging Lines of Action

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paucity of research analysing thematic persistence in public sustainability limits our understanding of how this field of research evolves and reconfigures itself. The present paper addresses this gap through a longitudinal bibliometric analysis of 692 publications processed with SciMAT. The methodology combines co‐word analysis, strategic
