Background: Wireless positioning is one of the most important technologies for realtime applications in wireless sensor systems. This paper mainly studies the indoor wireless positioning algorithm of robots. Methods: The application of the K-nearest neighbor algorithm in Wi-Fi positioning is studied by analyzing the Wi-Fi fingerprint location algorithm based on Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm in Wi-Fi positioning. The KNN algorithm is computationally intensive and time-consuming. Results: In order to improve the positioning efficiency, improve the positioning accuracy and reduce the computation time, a fast weighted K-neighbor correlation algorithm based on RSSI is proposed based on the K-Means algorithm. Thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the calculation time, quickly estimating the position distance, and improving the positioning accuracy. Conclusion: Simulation analysis shows that the algorithm can effectively shorten the positioning time and improve the positioning efficiency in robot Wi-Fi positioning.
