Description

Due to measurement errors, position and orientation measures provided by mobile platform localization systems remain useless until their respective measurement uncertainties are characterized. This paper presents a method of characterizing position and orientation measurement uncertainties that does not require considerable computing power and has been implemented in an easy to use, low-cost yet robust robotic platform.
