Abstract
A localization method and localization device of a mobile robot is provided. In one aspect, characteristic information of a reference object is stored in advance to be used as a landmark for localization, and reference characteristic information is defined by utilizing the stored characteristic information and characteristic information obtained at an initial location of the mobile robot. Therefore, the accuracy of localization can be increased without the use of additional artificial landmarks.
