Cooperative mobile robotic platforms for wireless control applications

The field of mobile robot tracking is active and vibrant, with more great systems and ideas being developed continuously. Exact knowledge of the position of a vehicle is a fundamental problem in mobile robot applications. In search for a solution, researchers and engineers have developed a variety of systems, sensors, and techniques for mobile robot positioning. This paper provides an implementation of tracking a hand-on robotic platform from another autonomous robot almost at the same size, which will be referred as the `chase-hunter´ application. The proposed alignment control algorithm has the advantage that can be implemented on very simple robots that lack complex sensing capabilities to detect random obstacles and the orientation of their pair robot. Low cost, though modern and up to date technology was used and all gear data will be explained in details as well as the performing scenario.
