WP2 Human Telematic Entities

 

WP1WP2WP3WP4WP5WP6

Tasks:

  1. Design, manufacturing and testing of the personal navigation system prototype
  2. Improvement of personal navigation system with perception sensors and development of simultaneous localization and mapping algorithms.
  3. 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:

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
