Abstract
This paper presents a novel framework for the problem of target localization based on the range information collected by a single mobile agent. The proposed methodology exploits the algebra of Volterra integral operators to annihilate the influence of initial conditions on the transient phase, thus achieving a deadbeat performance. The robustness properties against additive measurement perturbations are analyzed, and the bias caused by the time discretization is characterized as well. Extensive simulation results and comparisons are provided showing the effectiveness of the proposed technique in coping with both stationary and drifting targets.
