3D Self-Localization of Drones using a Single Millimeter-Wave Anchor
… implementation, and evaluation of MiFly, a self-localization system for autonomous drones that works across indoor and outdoor environments, including low-visibility, dark, and GPS-denied settings. MiFly performs 6DoF self-localization by leveraging a single millimeter-wave (mmWave) anchor …

Hypothesize-and-verify Based Solutions For Place Recognition And Mobile Robot Self-localization In Interior Hallways
… research is that of visual place recognition and self-localization. This is the problem that forms the focus of the present dissertation. We show how dense and accurate 3D models of the interior space can be constructed using a hierarchical sensor-fusion architecture. Our system fuses images from …

Cooperative localization for autonomous underwater vehicles
Self-localization of an underwater vehicle is particularly challenging due to the absence of Global Positioning System (GPS) reception or features at known positions that could otherwise have been used for position computation. Thus Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) applications typically require …

Indoor Localization of Wheeled Robots using Multi-sensor Data Fusion with Event-based Measurements
… scenarios for robots' accurate and robust localization. The theory and the results presented in this dissertation intend to address the crucial issue of wheeled robots indoor localization by proposing some novel solutions in three complementary ways, i.e. improving robots self-localization …

Autonomous UAV Navigation using Millimeter Wave Radar
… for drones capable of mapping, path-planning, self-localizing, and navigating in indoor environments by leveraging strategically-placed millimeter wave anchors. Autonomous drones are an increasingly relevant tool for completing and automating hard-to-reach tasks. State of the art navigation …

A Portable Handheld Fine-Grained RFID Localization System with Complex-Controlled Polarization
… is significant interest in fine-grained RFID localization systems. Existing systems for fine-grained RFID localization require infrastructure support, either in the form of extensive reference tags deployed in the environment or a deployed antenna infrastructure, such as antenna arrays, to …

Underwater & out of sight: towards ubiquity in underwater robotics
… a novel acoustic system that enables AUV self-localization without requiring a DVL-aided INS or on-board active acoustic transmitters. We term this approach Passive Inverted Ultra-Short Baseline (piUSBL) positioning. The system uses a single acoustic beacon and a time-synchronized, …
