Abstract

Real-Time indoor location determination is indispensable for an autonomous robot. It can also provide various location-based services for other applications. In this paper we set up an indoor positioning system (IPS) framework consisting of an array of iBeacons that are fixed in the environment to send signals and an android phone as the positioning device that receives the signals and calculates the position of it. Three-ball positioning algorithm are used in position computation. Results show that high positioning accuracy is possible even using a relatively sparse deployment of iBeacons.
