  • Abstract
    A 2D mobile robot localization system which uses odometry and the azimuth angles of known landmarks is presented. Observability analysis helps to determine situations where such a system may undergo difficulties, and gives information on its behavior when one of the beacons is hidden. Experimental results are presented
