Abstract In order to overcome the uncertainty of the data sampling period of the sensor due to equipment reasons, a mobile robot localization system is developed under the uncertain sampling period for the tightly-fused light detection and ranging (LiDAR), compass, and encoder data. The errors of position and velocity, the robot’s yaw, and the sampling period are chosen as state variables. The ranges between the corner feature points (CFPs) and the mobile robot measured by the LiDAR, compass, and encoder are considered as an observation. Based on the tightly-integrated nonlinear model, the extended unbiased finite-impulse response (EFIR) filter fuses the sensors’ data for the integrated localization system. The performances of the traditional loosely-coupled integration scheme, tightly-coupled integration scheme with a constant sampling interval, and tightly-coupled integration with an uncertain sampling interval are compared based on real data. It is shown experimentally that the proposed scheme is more accurate then the traditional loosely-coupled integration and the one relying on a constant sampling interval, which improves by about 10.2%.

1 Introduction Since mobile robotics has found wide applications, accurate robot navigation information in Global Positioning System (GPS)-denied and indoor environments has become a research hotspot [1, 14]. Accordingly, many indoor localization technologies using short-range wireless communication have been proposed. For example, in [22], a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader-fault-adaptive localization algorithm has been designed to obtain an acceptable

localization accuracy when some readers malfunction. One custom RFID-embedded smart e-health platform is proposed in [9] for the tagged people in indoor environments. The bluetooth-based localization system has been proposed in [10] to improve the localization accuracy. A robust WiFi localization system has been designed in [5] by fusing derivative fingerprints of received signal strength (RSS) with multiple classifiers (DIFMIC). Note that the localization accuracies of the RFID- and bluetooth-based localization technologies are at meter level, which is n
