Robot and method for localizing robot

A method for localizing a robot, the method comprising:

• determining a current position of the robot;
• mapping the determined current position to a corresponding region of a plurality of regions;
• acquiring communication environment information comprising identifiers of access points and received signal strengths from the access points;
• and
• generating or updating a learning profile for the corresponding region, based on the acquired communication environment information,
• wherein the learning profile comprises a probability map of a received signal strength for each of the access points.

A robot comprising:

• a communicator configured to acquire communication environment information comprising identifiers of access points and received signal strengths from the access points;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• generate an environmental profile for a current position of the robot, based on the acquired communication environment information;
• compare the generated environmental profile with a plurality of learning profiles associated with a plurality of regions;
• determine a learning profile corresponding to the environmental profile, based on the comparison;
• and
• determine a region associated with the determined learning profile as the current position of the robot,
• wherein each of the plurality of learning profiles comprises a probability map of a received signal strength for each of the access points.
