Cool project. I have tried using both wifi and IMU motion sensors for mapping indoor and it's not really that impressive yet. This is still a very hard problem to solve. Google seems to be working on it: https://www.google.com/atap/project-tango/

There have also been many other projects like http://wearnotch.com/

For now, External distance cameras (Kinect-like) seems to be the most accurate and usable method. Something like what these quadcopters use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiCFtmdrvHM
