Indoor in-network asset localization using Crownstone network

This thesis project has been done with Crownstone, a subsidiary company of Almende. One of their project goals was to develop indoor localization algorithms to determine room-level location of an asset within the Crownstone network for smart-building, home automation and healthcare applications. An asset is a wireless device transmitting...

An Indoor Localization System for Nursing Homes Based on RSSI

Over the years, care givers in nursing homes have seen their workload gradually increase. With no end of this trend in sight, the need for smart support systems increases. Especially systems which decrease the time spent on menial tasks are valued highly, because this frees more time for high quality and personal care.<br/>To achieve this, Momo...

Motion-based Single-Anchor Localization in a Two-Robot System

A majority of existing single-anchor localization algorithms make use of antenna arrays or special antenna systems. However, the need for specialized antenna systems incurs higher costs, complexity and power consumption. This paper presents a novel single-anchor localization algorithm, which does not require antenna arrays or special antennas....

Evaluating different localization methods for robotic swarming

Localization is an important element for a moving swarm of robots. A swarm contains many individuals, and it is essential that the swarm members do not collide. Expensive and complex implementations to localize others is undesirable. Hence, a localization system designed using the available resources is desired. The available techniques that...
