Robust range estimation using acoustic and multimodal sensing
Abstract
Many applications of robotics and embedded sensor technology can benefit from fine-grained localization. Fine-grained localization can simplify multi-robot collaboration, enable energy efficient multi-hop routing for low-power radio networks, and enable automatic calibration of distributed sensing systems. We focus on range estimation, a critical prerequisite for fine-grained localization. While many mechanisms for range estimation exist, any individual mode of sensing can be blocked or confused by the environment. We present and analyze an acoustic ranging system that performs well in the presence of many types of interference, but can return incorrect measurements in non-line-of-sight conditions. We then suggest how evidence from an orthogonal sensory channel might be used to detect and eliminate these measurements. The work illustrates the more general research theme of combining multiple modalities to obtain robust results.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
