Navigation of Outdoor Mobile Robots with Extended Grid Algorithms
Cosmin Marcu, Levente Tamás · 2020
Grid Locator systems describe locations anywhere in the world and are mainly used in radio communication to transmit stations location of the correspondents. This paper proposes to extend the use of Maidenhead Locator System to mobile robots navigation by transforming the GPS coordinates into higher precision extended grid squares. The experimental part of the paper was validated using real GPS data from a commercial drone. The data, as well as the source for the reproduction of the experimental part, is available at the homepage of the authors.
