A study on test method for evaluation of mobile robot trajectory estimation

Indoor mobile robot location is the most important technology for service robots. Conventionally, there are various methods for estimating the robot trajectory to evaluate performance of robot localization. Since the operating environment and purpose of the robot are diverse, an appropriate method must be selected for the testing. In this paper, we present a study comparing the trajectory estimation methods of mobile robots using internal and external sensors to assist in estimating a suitable method for evaluation.
