Tasks:
- Design, manufacturing and testing of the personal navigation
system prototype
- Improvement of personal navigation system with perception
sensors and development of simultaneous localization and
mapping algorithms.
- Defining a standard rescue map format
Possible ways for human localization:
- “Human SLAM” based on laser scanner and gyro
- Scan-to-scan and scan-to-map matching techniques Seems
feasible
- Supporting RF/sonar beacon triangulation system
Sensors for human localization:

|
|
Laser Range-finder SICK PLS 100
|
3D Orientation modul

Adverse experiences
- Inertial navigation (DRM + inertial) itself is not suitable
for localization purposes (because of large unbounded errors
)
- Dead reckoning can work only as a supporting approach
for other localization techniques
