Multi-Sensor Fusion Framework for Reliable Localization and Trajectory Tracking of Mobile Robot by Integrating UWB,...

This paper presents a multi-sensor fusion framework for the accurate indoor localization and trajectory tracking of a differential-drive mobile robot. The proposed system integrates Ultra-Wideband (UWB) trilateration, wheel odometry, and Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) data using a Kalman filter. This fusion approach reduces the impact of noisy and inaccurate UWB measurements while correcting odometry drift. The system combines raw UWB distance measurements with wheel encoder readings and heading information from an AHRS to improve robustness and positioning accuracy. Experimental validation was conducted through repeated closed-loop trajectory trials. The results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms UWB-only localization, yielding reduced noise, enhanced consistency, and lower Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) distances across repetitions. The findings confirm the system's effectiveness and suitability for real-time mobile robot navigation in indoor environments.
