  • Abstract
    The paper deals with the localization of mobile robot using the bearing only beacons as the only source of sensor data. The localization is based on Extended Kalman Filter. Derivation of localization algorithm is given together with test results for both simulation and real robot equipped with low cost sensor hardware. Beacons use infrared LEDs detected by the receiver on the robot and position estimator runs on Atmega microcontroller.
