Summary: | This paper presents a constrained Kalman filter for Wi-Fi-based indoor localization. The contribution of this work is to introduce constraints on the object speed and to provide a numerically optimized form for fast computation. The proposed approach is suitable to flexible space organization, as in warehouses, and when objects can be spun around, for example barcode readers in a hand. We experimented with the proposed technique using a robot and three devices, on five different journeys, in a 6000 m<sup>2</sup> warehouse equipped with six Wi-Fi access points. The results highlight that the proposed approach provides a 19% improvement in localization accuracy.
