In this paper, we present a Covariance Intersection (CI)-based algorithm for reducing the processing and communication complexity of multi-robot Cooperative Localization (CL). Specifically, for a team of N robots, our proposed approximate CI-based CL approach has processing and communication complexity only linear, O(N), in the number of robots. Moreover, and in contrast to alternative approximate methods, our approach is provably consistent, can handle asynchronous communication, and does not place any restriction on the robots' motion. We test the performance of our proposed approach in both simulations and experimentally, and show that it outperforms the existing linear-complexity split CI-based CL method. |
