| Abstract: |  This thesis deals with the robot localization problem. It presents a system based on the camera localization system Whycon, which is adapted for use with handheld devices running Android operating system. The system is extended to take advantage of several such interconnected devices, each with its own dedicated camera, providing the localization system with multiple additional points of view. Deployment of the system is easily done by installing an application on each of the devices. The application has a simple user interface, which allows the user to carry out all the preparation procedures necessary for the system to be able to incorporate the device in the localization. The multiple points of view, resulting from the usage of several devices, give the system the potential for increased spatial coverage and precision. This thesis describes the challenges of dealing with several points of view in a camera-based localization system, both while deploying it and during its operation. It proposes convenient routines, which can be used to increase performance and efficiency of the system.
