Improved Weighted Centroid Localization with Quadratic Means for Indoor Mobile Robot Tracking

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nowadays, mobile robot tracking is the one of application in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A one of promising localization algorithm in range-free algorithm is the weighted centroid localization (WCL) algorithm. This work proposed the improved WCL algorithm with quadratic means based on received signal strength (RSS). The ZigBee operated at 2.4 GHz frequency is used to measure in the indoor environment. The final results will be discuss about the comparison of the typically WCL algorithm and the improved WCL algorithm. From the results, the 1-meter-precision of improved WCL is 91.67% and WCL is 83.33%. Moreover, the improved WCL obtained the 16.67% no error of estimated position.
