Popis: In recent years, the increased availability of WiFi in indoor environments has gained an interest in the robotics community to leverage WiFi signals for enhancing indoor SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) systems. SLAM technology is widely used, especially for the navigation and control of autonomous robots. This paper discusses various works in developing WiFi-based localization and challenges in achieving high-accuracy geometric maps. This paper introduces the concept of inverse k-visibility developed from the k-visibility algorithm to identify the free space in an unknown environment for planning, navigation, and obstacle avoidance. Comprehensive experiments, including those utilizing single and multiple RSSI signals, were conducted in both simulated and real-world environments to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed algorithm. Additionally, a detailed analysis comparing the resulting maps with ground-truth Lidar-based maps is provided to highlight the algorithm's accuracy and reliability.
