Localization is a fundamental requirement for mobile robots. In order to navigate autonomously and perform tasks, a robot must accurately estimate its position within the environment over time. This work aims to analyze and compare various mobile robot localization methods identified during the literature review, including Monte Carlo Localization (MCL), Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization (AMCL), Sensor Fusion, and a combined method of AMCL with Sensor Fusion, all implemented using the Robot Operating System (ROS 2…
