Abstract

This paper proposes to use constraint propagation on intervals to solve the mobile robot localization problem. The mobile robot is equipped with an exteroceptive sensor and dead-reckoning. These two sensors give imprecise data that are modelled by intervals. Our localization strategy is based on multi target tracking. To this aim, the data given by our two sensors are fused by constraint propagation. So, at the end of the localization process, we get a 3-D subpaving which is supposed to contain the robot’s position in a guaranteed way. The localization imprecision is naturally managed by our method.
