| Abstract | We propose a method for performing localization of a mobile robot using a Microsoft Kinect RGB-D sensor. We make use of artificial landmarks placed at known locations in the environment. The robot tries to locate these landmarks based upon their color and shape and in turn, measure the range and bearing to the same. The range and bearing information so received is noisy. The proposed method estimates the robot's pose in the world coordinates using Monte Carlo Localization. The total count of the landmarks and their individual locations (in world coordinate system) is to be provided apriori to the robot, which is akin to using a map of the environment, but having very low resource requirements. The proposed method has been implemented and experimentally tested. The timing performance of the algorithm is proportional to the number of landmarks in the view of Kinect sensor. Thus landmarks need to be placed in such a way as to ensure that one or at the max two landmarks remain in the view of Kinect at all times. We present results of a typical practical application for use in indoor office-like environment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
