In particular, an approximate algorithm for active robot localization in partially observable environments based on a POMDP model is introduced. Results from many different tests are presented to prove the setting of algorithm parameters. They show that a localization accuracy of less than 25 cm can be achieved even with a partial knowledge of the environment Besides, the proposed approximated algorithm reduces the computational cost without degrading results. {\textcopyright} 2005 IEEE.}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-28444487920\&partnerID=40\&md5=0f5de1c29fccabb1de7c4b94d2a750d0}, author = {Emanuele Frontoni and Primo Zingaretti} }
