Abstract

For the problem of inaccurate positioning of mobile robots in complex industrial environments, a multi-sensor combination localization method for omnidirectional mobile robots is proposed that incorporates the unscented Kalman filter (UKF), Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Firstly, the position information of the mobile robot is obtained by Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Wheel Odometry respectively. Secondly, the inertial measurement unit (IMU) determines the cart yaw angle while dual RTK is proposed to solve the yaw angle in real-time. Finally, the position and yaw angle data are input to the unscented Kalman filter in real time. This paper proposes the F-AUKF algorithm, which optimizes the traditional unscented Kalman filter algorithm by introducing a forgetting factor in order to improve the robustness of mobile robot localization for continuous operation in complex industrial building environments. The experimental results show that the F-AUKF algorithm eventually achieves a positioning accuracy about 10 times higher than that of a single odometer, about 6 times higher than that of a single RTK and about 3 times higher than that of the traditional UKF algorithm, effectively improving the problem of dispersion of the filtering effect after a long period of operation and providing better stability.
