localize
[Device proxies]


Detailed Description

The localize proxy provides an interface to localization drivers.

Generally speaking, these are abstract drivers that attempt to localize the robot by matching sensor observations (odometry, laser and/or sonar) against a prior map of the environment (such as an occupancy grid). Since the pose may be ambiguous, multiple hypotheses may returned; each hypothesis specifies one possible pose estimate for the robot. See the Player manual for details of the localize interface, and and drivers that support it (such as the amcl driver).
