New Approach to Supervise Localization Algorithms

The localization algorithms have different errors which can impair the robot's navigation. In this way, we propose an approach that will supervise the localization while the robot navigate. Our approach is based on another work present in the literature, where we detected a problem during its analysis. Therefore, this article will present a new method based on the RLS algorithm, to solve the identified problem. Besides, we propose the supervision of two more localization algorithms, being now four the supervised algorithms, namely: Augmented Monte Carlo Localization, Extended Kalman Filter with Beacons, Perfect Match and Odometry. The results show that the robustness and reliability of the system were increased.
