Abstract

The ability to navigate mobile robots in the human environment is needed to keep a safe and reliable way to overcome the loss of the mobile robot position. To solve the localization problem for a mobile robot, particle filter algorithm was used to achieve the required robustness and accuracy. Particle filter is an algorithm based on estimation theory that used a set of particles to maintain hypothesis of the position of the mobile robot. In this paper, two objectives of the research project were described and presented. First, the simulation of particle filter localization algorithm in robot operating system (ROS). Second, the performance of the localization algorithm based on the accuracy of the robot’s state. In the simulation, the number of particles were used as parameter that will cause variation in the accuracy of the localization algorithm. It is concluded that the higher number of particles used will give a better accuracy of the robot’s state.
