Abstract This paper introduces the Focused Stochastic Diffusion Network as a novel method of self-localisation for an autonomous wheelchair in a complex, busy environment. The space of possible positions is explored in parallel by a set of cells searching in a competitive co-operative manner for the most likely position of the wheelchair in its environment. Experimental results from the SENARIO autonomous wheelchair project indicate the technique is practical and robust.
