Probabilistic Multi-Robot Gas Source Localization with Uncalibrated Sensors: A Distributed Estimation Approach

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 28, 2026 · UTC

Estimating environmental states with multi-robot systems becomes particularly challenging when robots are equipped with uncalibrated and therefore heterogeneous sensors, whose nonlinear and inconsistent responses prevent reliable information fusion. In this paper, we propose a distributed probabilistic framework for source localization tasks that enables calibration-free estimation in the presence of sensor heterogeneity. The key idea is that each robot independently estimates a local belief using a rank-based feature that captures the relative evolution of observations and is invariant to sen
