Abstract
This paper presents a robot localization system for indoor environments using WiFi signal strength measure. We analyse the main causes of the WiFi signal strength variation and we experimentally demonstrate that a localization technique based on a propagation model doesn't work properly in our test-bed. We have carried out a localization system based on a priori radio-map obtained automatically from a robot navigation in the environment in a semi-autonomous way. We analyse the effect of reducing calibration effort in order to diminish practical barriers to wider adoption of this type of location measurement technique. Experimental results using a real robot moving are shown. Finally, the conclusions and future works are presented.Keywords
