Abstract
This paper present a particle filter also known as Monte Carlo Localization (MCL) to solve the localization problem presented before. A new resampling mechanism is proposed. This new resampling mechanism enables the particle filter to converge quicker and more robust to kidnaping problem. This particle filter is simulated in MATLAB and also experimented physically using a simple autonomous mobile robot built with Lego Mindstorms NXT with 3 ultrasonic sonar and RWTH Mindstorms NXT Toolbox for MATLAB to connect the robot to MATLAB. The particle filter with the new resampling algorithm can perform very well in the physical experiments.
