Magnetic Localization

Magnetic localization uses magnetic field measurements to determine the position and orientation of an object, addressing the need for robust localization in GPS-denied environments and various applications. Current research focuses on improving accuracy and real-time performance through advanced algorithms like uncertainty-aware motion planning and machine learning models, often incorporating sensor array optimization and sophisticated mathematical models (e.g., beyond simple dipole models). This technology holds significant promise for diverse fields, including autonomous navigation, medical robotics (e.g., precise surgical instrument control), and non-invasive medical diagnostics (e.g., real-time respiratory disease monitoring).
