GNSS-denied localisation for outdoor robots without GPS

GNSS-denied localisation for outdoor robots without GPS

MSc thesis project at ITC-EOS in collaboration with Demcon

Help robots find their way when reliable access to global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) is not available. Research, develop, implement, and find and push the limits of GNSS-denied localisation algorithms.
Most outdoor robots have access to precise location information from a GNSS such as GPS or Galileo and rely on this to plan their navigation. However, there are situations where GNSS localisation is compromised:

• Reception issues
• Jamming
• Spoofing

Now the robot will need an alternative absolute positioning system that does not rely on satellite reception. This is called GNSS-denied localisation.
