MOBILE ROBOT LOCALIZATION FROM LANDMARK BEARINGS

Toshifumi Tsukiyama
Abstract:
Mobile robots need their position in the workspace. A standard GPS will allow an absolute positioning of the robot in the field, but the position accuracy is not enough to perform unmanned field task. This paper proposes a system for robot localization based on landmark bearings measured by the robot. Since the equipment setup is very simple our proposed technique would be useful for real-world robotic applications such as lawnmowers. Some results are presented to show the performance of the proposed technique.
