Description
Summary:Localization is one of the core components of any robotics platform and is required before autonomous mobile robots can be achieved. There are many known techniques to solve the localization problems and this project presents the implementation of 2 such solutions for a Pioneer 2DX mobile robot. One is based on sensor fusion between gyroscope and odometry to provide relative localization while the other is based Monte Carlo Localization to provide absolute localization.
