Abstract

In this paper we present localization and navigation method based on rough mereology introduced by Polkowski and Skowron [8], which can make the bridges between linguistic and quantity spatial descriptions. Localization can be described as functional relations between localizing object and reference objects. If we define these relations within theory of rough mereology we have semantical description of object localization and by the numerical determination we obtain quantitative models. We also present simulation results of mobile robot localization and navigation.
