Zhenping Sun · Fire Control and Command Control · 2010
Exact knowledge of the position of a Vehicle is a fundamental problem in mobile robot applications. Researching on the Techniques of Mobile Robot Positioning, this paper defines 5 categories for the positioning technique according to the differences between the positioning method and sensor: Dead-Reckoning, Active Beacons, Map-based Navigation, Landmark Navigation and Vision-based Navigation. In this paper, we give the main ideas and the key techniques of those positioning techniques. Dead-Reckoning and the modifying of positioning error are also introduced and discussed in detail. Studying on the internal and foreign methods of the application of GPS, a main embranchment of the GPS application is also presented detailedly. This paper is of high reference value.
