Real-Time Cooperative Navigation using Relative Localization under Communication and Sensing Constraints
Abstract
Cooperative Localization (CL) offers several potential advantages over single vehicle navigation, including increased localization accuracy, sensor coverage, robustness, efficiency, and flexibility. The objective of this research is to address fundamental problems that arise while performing cooperative localization using a group unmanned/manned aerial vehicles and in real-time where sensing and communication capabilities are limited and localization sources such as GPS and known landmarks (referencing source) are scarce or not available. An approximate distributed information consensus based cooperative localization algorithms to fuse the relative position and orientation information will be developed and validated analytically and experimentally.
