I'm pretty sure they are using inertial sensors (i.e. an accelerometer) and integrating the value they receive to calculate their position. This would allow you to get quite accurate results, better than encoders, since the accelerometers can pick up wheel slippage and shoving.
I'm quite interested in knowing how you account for overall "drift" in the system... (?)
