Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) geolocation system for providing the 3D coordinates of a moving person in the absence of a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal. The 3D geolocation system uses biomechanics information about the user provided by two inertial sensors configured to be positioned at the left and right foot-ankle structures and additional sensors configured to measure the spatial orientation of the shanks, thighs and trunk of the user. These sensors can be provided by an exoskeleton or other types of orthotic devices worn by the user.
