Ground robots navigate accurately without knowing locations of ranging nodes.
The article describes a new way to help ground robots navigate more accurately using ultra-wideband radios without knowing the exact locations of the radios. By using geometric relationships between the robot and the radios, the navigation accuracy is greatly improved. This method outperforms traditional approaches that require knowing the radio locations. The research also shows that this approach can be used for collaborative navigation in large, unknown environments without needing fixed radio locations.
