N2 - In this article, we undertake a thorough investigation into the theory of indoor location, adopt an effective and quick positioning algorithm, and make use of a network of lowpower iBeacons. An iBeacon-based indoor positioning system (IPS) is presented to investigate how to utilize iBeacon for accurate location and whether it can successfully replace the current dominant positioning technology based on the analysis that was conducted. However, the first things that should be taken into account at this point in the design of house robots for indoor environments are how to quickly and precisely gather target node location information as well as how to regulate and plan a course. This article examined the more popular and often used indoor positioning techniques, provided a succinct summary of current indoor positioning technologies and regulators, and examined ultrasonic locating technology in depth. Based on this, a system for mobile home service robots was developed, and simulation tests were performed to assess the accuracy of node locating, node reception and arrival times, the best level of route planning, and navigation and path estimation errors in both absolute and comparative terms. Additionally, we go into detail about the difficulties in developing a practical IPS, the solutions that are already available, a thorough performance comparison, and some potential future IPS development trends.
