Abstract :
A design of a three-dimensional localiser that is intended for autonomous robot vehicles is presented. The design is implemented in air using ultrasonic beacons but can be adapted using sonar to underwater environments where it has important applications, such as deep sea maintenance and reconnaissance tasks. Performance results of a laboratory prototype used to prove the design concept are presented
