Indoor positioning is a complex issue with many, heterogeneous application cases, each one presenting different requirements and environments. In such a complex ecosystem, an agile taxonomy is needed to be able to select a proper solution for a given scenario, as well as practical recommendations for the most used solutions. Besides providing these tools, we…

Indoor positioning system (IPS) has become a high demand research field to be developed and has made considerable progress in recent years. Wi-Fi fingerprinting is the most promising technique that produces an acceptable result. However, despite the large amount of research that has been done using Wi-Fi fingerprinting, only a few Wi-Fi based IPS in…

Many robots have been proposed for smart applications in recent years However, while these robots have good ability to move between fixed points separated by short distances, they perform less well when required to navigate complex interior spaces with an irregular layout and multiple obstacles due to their relatively crude positioning and path control capabilities.…

In this paper, we propose a highly accurate indoor position and direction estimation system using a simple fully connected deep neural network (DNN) model on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSIs). Since the system’s ultimate goal is to function as an indoor navigation system, the system estimates the indoor position simultaneously as…

With the advancements in technology, smart entities are becoming increasingly intelligent, therefore, increasing their interaction capabilities with their surrounding environment. Apart from the traditional smart low profile devices, these entities now involve cars, mobiles, televisions, and extend to universities and smart cities. One of the bi-product of the smart cities is the emergence of the…
