چکیده

This paper describes a simple low-cost 2D and 3D positioning system for mobile robots. The system makes use of both ultrasound and radio frequency signals to achieve positional accuracies better than 1% of the tracked volume. Furthermore, we have integrated the positioning system into the simulation tools Player/Stage, in order to combine simulated robots with real robots in a ‘hybrid’ embodied simulation. The paper presents measurements from using the positioning system for both 3D tracking and 3D closed loop control.

Investigation on the Effect of Different Parameters in Wheeled Mobile Robot Error (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This article has focused on evaluation and identification of effective parameters in positioning performance with an odometry approach of an omni-directional mobile robot. Although there has been research in this field, but in this paper, a new approach has been proposed for mobile robot in positioning performance. With respect to experimental investigations of different parameters in omni-dire...
