Abstract
An electronic device includes a first set of sensors configured to generate motion information. The electronic device also includes a second set of sensors configured to receive information from multiple anchors. The electronic device further includes a processor configured to generate a path to drive the electronic device within an area. The processor is configured to receive the motion information. The processor is configured to generate ranging information based on the information that is received. While the electronic device is driven along the path, the processor is configured to identify a location and heading direction within the area of the electronic device based on the motion information. The processor is configured to modify the estimate of location and the heading direction of the electronic device based on the ranging information. The processor is configured to drive within the area according to the path, based on the location and heading direction.
