Robot localization – Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization (AMCL)
We are using the AMCL algorithm for robot localization in the given map. The AMCL algorithm is a probabilistic localization technique that uses a particle filter to track the pose of a robot in a known map. It has many configuration options that will affect the performance of localization. We can refer to the AMCL documentation at http://wiki.ros.org/amcl and http://www.probabilistic-robotics.org/.
