This book offers a comprehensive exploration of indoor acoustic positioning systems designed for environments where GPS is ineffective. It thoroughly examines the design and implementation of sound-based positioning systems (SPS), focusing on methods such as Time of Arrival (ToA), Angle of Arrival (AoA), and Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) to achieve accurate 3D localization. The book addresses challenges including Doppler shifts from moving robots, signal reflections (multipath) due to obstacles, and environmental factors like wind and temperature variations that affect acoustic signal propagation. By providing detailed analysis and practical mitigation strategies, it equips readers with solutions to enhance SPS accuracy and reliability. Special features include illustrative diagrams, comprehensive tables, and an appendix containing key function code for building a ToA-based acoustic positioning system—facilitating hands-on learning and implementation. This resource will be invaluable to robotics engineers, indoor navigation system developers, and researchers in autonomous systems who seek to design and deploy reliable indoor positioning solutions in GPS-denied environments.

About the Author
Zichen Huang received his B.E. in Agricultural Mechanization and Automation from Shenyang Agricultural University, China in 2015, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Technology from Kyoto University, Japan in 2017 and 2020, respectively. From 2020 to 2024, he was a Research Fellow at Kyoto University. Since April 2025, Dr. Huang has been a ZJU 100 Young Professor at Zhejiang University, China.
Dr. Huang’s research focuses on intelligent perception systems and agricultural robotics for fruit and vegetable production. His interests include intelligent sensing of crop growth, robotic navigation in complex environments (including greenhouses), multi-factor coupled growth modeling, and intelligent decision-making models for water, fertilizer, and pesticide management. He has served as the principal investigator for three funded research projects. Dr. Huang was selected as a JSPS International Research Fellow. Since 2020, he has published 16 SCI-indexed papers as first or corresponding author. He has delivered four invited talks at prestigious international conferences (including events organized by the UN FAO) and served as a workshop chair three times at leading robotics conferences such as IEEE IROS. Additionally, he serves as a youth editorial board member for several academic journals, reflecting his active role in the research community.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
