Abstract

The formation of amphibious robots is often interfered by external factors. Therefore, some robots' Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment cannot provide accurate positioning, which has a great impact on the continuity and real-time performance of the work. To solve the problem, this paper adopts a positioning method based on the trajectory of a mobile anchor node. Proposed method determines the foot points and vertical lines of unknown points on the trajectory of anchor nodes according to the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) intensity values of these nodes. It then identifies the foot points and vertical lines of unknown points on anchor nodes' trajectory. Position of unknown nodes are identified based on the intersection of these vertical lines. Moreover, we conducted experiments with fewer nodes, and the results demonstrate more accuracy as compared with traditional node technology. It can better solve the problems of positioning fault caused by external factors, which has high application value.
