Localization of service mobile robot using ID tag

This paper proposes a novel method of using ID tag and tag reader to measure the position and orientation of mobile robot. Firstly, the architecture of system is introduced; secondly, the fundament of this method is analyzed and experimentally inspected; thirdly, the strategy for calculating the offset distance and orientation angle is analyzed, two models used for calculation are proposed and set up by experiment, the complete steps are introduced, also the method for determining the position of offset distance and the direction of orientation angle is introduced; finally, experiment for verification has been done, and the results show that this method is hopeful for service mobile robot localization.
