Researchers have developed a new decentralized algorithm for mobile robot teams that enables relative localization without relying on fixed infrastructure or controlled motion. This approach uses only local odometry, sparse ranging measurements, and short-range communication. The algorithm employs a multi-hypothesis Bayesian framework to maintain all feasible solutions, ensuring robustness even when observability is temporarily lost, and allows agents to benefit from group estimates even in partially connected networks.
