In this current research, we are developing an automatic navigation system for outdoor vehicles. Especially, in this paper we propose self-localization method based on the information stored in Information Assistant (IA) devices and range sensor information. IA is a sort of electronics device with wireless communication function based on RF-ID and stored local environment map. The vehicle reads reference data from distributed IAs in the environment and compares such data and scanning range data by using Laser Range Finder (LRF). A probabilistic calculation is introduced to match the sensory information and environment-embedded information. We had the experiment for verifying the validity of our localization method using outdoor vehicle.
