In this paper, the adaptive Monte Carlo localization (AMCL) error in terms of similar data detected by light detection and ranging (LiDAR) in different locations is investigated. This localization causes a robot to move to the incorrect location temporarily. We propose the fusion of landmark-based localization using an iBeacon device combined with the AMCL algorithm. This technique can solve the probabilistic localization problem of the conventional techniques applied in mobile robots by fusing the timed elastic band (TEB) and scan-matching algorithms, which reduces the error from 7 cm to less than 3 cm. The proposed technique is implemented on a clean-room-type mobile robot with 100 kg payload certificated by the SOP39 standard.
