Title
WiFi localization on the International Space Station
Abstract
This paper explores the possibility of using WiFi localization techniques for autonomous free-flying robots on the International Space Station (ISS). We have collected signal strength samples from the ISS, built the WiFi map using Gaussian processes, implemented a localizer based on particle filters, and evaluated the performance. Our results show the average error of 1.59 meters, which is accurate enough to identify which ISS module the robot is currently in. However, we found that most errors occurred in some specific modules under the current WiFi settings. This paper describes the challenges of applying WiFi localization techniques to the ISS and suggests several approaches to achieve better performance.
