gollark: When I was working on an unrelated thing I found a bunch of plausibly-workable papers about indoor localization using ultrasound.
gollark: You can also get these very accurate UWB position sensor things, or theoretically use ultrasound.
gollark: ANTARCTIC OBSCURITY is theoretically capable of localization if you have multiple receivers with either very accurate synchronized clocks (doubtful) or (if you don't mind noise and/or manual data gathering) signal strength readings.
gollark: RFID is generally rather short-range, so no.
