A novel approach for robot homing
Ahmet Buğra Koku, Ali Sekmen, Don Mitchell Wilkes · 2004
Although metric navigation techniques have been widely adapted in robot navigation, some powerful qualitative navigation methods have been proposed to achieve navigation. These methods do not require strict metric measures or presence of metric maps. This paper briefly introduces such qualitative navigation techniques and introduces a novel approach for qualitative robot navigation. Comparison of this method to some existing ones is given and performance analysis is presented. This technique requires less amount of information and its performance is comparable to other similar methods.
