Notes:
One difficult problem in robotics is localization: the ability of a mobile robot to determine its position in the environment. Roboticists around the globe have been working to find a solution to localization for more than 20 years; however, only in the past 4-5 years we have seen some promising results. In this work, we describe a first-of-a-kind, breakthrough technology for localization that requires only one low-cost camera (less than 50USD) and odometry to provide localization. Because of its low-cost and robust performance in realistic environments, this technology is particularly well-suited for use in consumer and commercial applications.
