A mobile apparatus and a position recognition method thereof capable of enhancing performance in position recognition, such as accuracy and convergence in position recognition of the mobile apparatus performs the position recognition by use of a distributed filter system, which is composed of a plurality of local filters independently operating and a single fusion filter that integrates the position recognition result performed by each of the plurality of local filters. The mobile apparatus includes a plurality of sensors, a plurality of local filters configured to receive detection information from at least one of the plurality of sensors to perform a position recognition of the mobile apparatus, and a fusion filter configured to integrate the position recognition result of the plurality of local filters and to perform a position recognition of the mobile apparatus by using the integrated position recognition result.
