Localization of Autonomous Guided Vehicles

This paper reviews and describes the state-of-the-art in localization of autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). The localization problem, the ability to accurately sense and estimate the location of a platform, lies at the heart of almost all AGV applications. Solving the localization problem is an essential precursor to more complex AGV tasks such as planing and task execution.
