Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate robot position without landmark. At first, it is studied to estimate robot state using Markov decision rule. And, a matching method is discussed for estimating current position more accurately under the estimated current state. At second, we combine or fuse the matching method with the POMDP method in order to estimate the position under a dynamically changing environment. Finally we will show that our method can estimate the position precisely and robustly of which error are not cumulated through simulation results.
