Abstract :
The performance of intelligent autonomous robotic systems ultimately depends on the capability of the vehicle to find its position with respect to a reference in its environment. In this paper we discuss a positioning system, based on a spinning laser transmitter/receiver and passive reflective beacons in the operating environment. Methods are discussed for path following, trajectory planning, beacons allocation and initialization for positioning.
