An Overview of Localization Methods for Multi-Agent Systems

Abstract

Localization of multi-agent systems is a fundamental requirement for multi-agent systems to operate and cooperate properly. The problem of localization can be divided into two categories; one in which a -priori information is available and the second where the global position is to be asce rtained without a-priori information. This paper gives a comprehensive survey of localization techniques that exist in the literature for both the categories with the objectives of knowing the current state-of-the-art, helping in selecting the proper approach in a given scenario and promoting research in this area. A detailed description of methods that exist in the literature are provided in considerable detail. Then these methods are compared, and their weaknesses and strengths are discussed. Finally, some future research recommendations are drawn out of this survey.
