This talk covers positioning & navigation challenges. We first give an introduction on GNSS (e.g. GPS) and focus on cases where GPS navigation is not sufficient (i.e., Indoor, or urban canyons). Then a short survey on “smartphone-sensors” will be given and few sub-problems on sensor fusion will be presented. The main part of the talk will cover a new geometric (bio-inspired) framework for navigation and mapping using off-the-shelf mobile devices followed by few positioning simulation and an actual demonstration.
This talk requires no background in Computational Geometry, bring your smart-phone we will get to know its sensors.
