Mobile robots operating in the real world need a very reliable localization system to navigate autonomousl y for long periods of time. Numerous methods for indoor mobile rob ot localization have been developed. However, an affordable s ystem covering all environments and situations is not yet availab le. Therefore, it is very important for mobile robot applicatio n developers to be aware of the operation and limitations of the different localization systems in order to obtain the be st performance for each case. This paper evaluates two indoor localization systems that are integrated in the RIDE archit ecture: a commercial (Hagisonic StarGazer) and a low cost localizat ion system based on the popular Wii remote control (WiiMote) with different tag distributions were evaluated. Characte ristics that were tested include precision, accuracy, reliability , cost and immunity to interference.
