Localization of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in enclosed or semi-enclosed environments such as offices, hotels, hospitals, indoor parking facilities, and underground spaces where GPS signals are weak or unavailable remains a major obstacle to the deployment of fully autonomous systems. Infrastructure-based localization approaches, such as QR codes and RFID, are constrained by high installation and maintenance costs as well as limited flexibility, while onboard sensor-based methods, including LiDAR- and vision-based solutions, are affected by ambiguous geometric features and frequent occlusions caused by dynamic obstacles such as pedestrians. Ambient magnetic field (AMF)-based localization has therefore attracted growing interest in recent years because it does not rely on external infrastructure or geometric features, making it well-suited for AMR applications such as service robots and security robots. However, magnetometer measurements are often corrupted by distortions caused by ferromagnetic materials present on the sensor platform, which bias the AMF and degrade localization reliability. As a result, accurate magnetometer calibration to estimate distortion parameters becomes essential. Conventional calibration methods that rely on rotating the magnetometer are impractical for large and heavy platforms. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a robust simultaneous localization and calibration (RoSLAC) approach based on alternating optimization, which iteratively and efficiently estimates both the platform pose and magnetometer calibration parameters. Extensive evaluations conducted in high-fidelity simulation and real-world environments demonstrate that the proposed RoSLAC method achieves high localization accuracy while maintaining low computational cost compared with state-of-the-art magnetometer calibration techniques.
