We propose a localization method for a mobile robot navigated by a TOF laser sensor on a pan-tilt actuator in a base station, and apply the method to a motion teaching interface for a caregiver robot. The position and orientation of the mobile robot can be estimated by measuring the pan-tilt angle, length of the laser beam as well as the laser spot position on a translucence screen equipped on the mobile robot using a camera. We conducted a simulation to verify the validity of this proposed method.
