Intrinsic localization

Intrinsic localization refers to the ability of a system or organism to determine its own position or location relative to a known reference frame or coordinate system, using internal cues or information without needing external references. This concept is often applied in various fields including robotics, neuroscience, and computer vision. In the context of robotics, for example, intrinsic localization can involve the robot using its onboard sensors (like IMUs, cameras, or odometry) to calculate its position and orientation within an environment.
