This paper studies the relationship between mobility, navigation and localization in the context of wireless sensor networks with mobile beacons. It is observed that mobility can aid in network node localization and that once localized, the network nodes can localize and track a mobile object and guide its navigation. A distributed kernel-based algorithm is proposed that enables the nodes to establish confident position estimates in the presence of ranging inaccuracies. The proposed approach features robustness with respect to range measurement inaccuracies, low complexity and distributed implementation, using only local information. Simulation validates our approach viable.
