Robot navigation means the robot's ability to determine its own position in its frame of reference and then to plan a path towards some goal location. In order to navigate in its environment, the robot or any other mobility device requires representation, i.e. a map of the environment and the ability to interpret that representation.

In search of a solution, researchers and engineers have developed a variety of systems, sensors, and techniques for mobile robot positioning. This article provides a review of relevant mobile robot positioning technologies.

Sep 1, 2022 · Localization forms the heart of various autonomous mobile robots. For efficient navigation, these robots need to adopt effective localization strategy. This paper, presents a comprehensive review on localization system, problems, …

1 day ago · As autonomous robots become more prevalent in industries like logistics, healthcare, and defense, robot localization techniques play a critical role in ensuring precise navigation. Localization is the process of determining a robot’s position within a given environment, which is essential for autonomous decision-making.

Sep 25, 2024 · Across a wide range of applications, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) require highly accurate sources of positioning to safely and successfully complete the jobs for which they are designed. Accomplishing such precision requires two sets of location capabilities.

Accerion developed the first 100% infrastructure-free, sub-millimeter accuracy positioning systems for mobile robots and automated guided vehicles. Current applications focus on the warehousing and manufacturing sectors, but Accerion’s technology is universally applicable.

Mar 24, 2023 · Indoor localization has become a key component in many fields and the basis for all actions of mobile robots. This paper screened 147 papers in the field of indoor positioning of mobile robots from 2019 to 2021.

Other motion control devices typically provide positioning, motion simulation, or vibration isolation in only one or two degrees of freedom making Moog’s high-performance hexapods the ideal solution when multi-axis motion is desired. Moog’s hexapods are provided as a turnkey system complete with 6-DOF controller, software, and cabling.

Jan 2, 2025 · One of the most significant challenges in mobile robotics lies in trajectory analysis, positioning, and control. Accurate trajectory planning and execution are critical for robots to navigate dynamic environments, avoid obstacles, and operate effectively alongside humans.

Nov 26, 2024 · To mitigate the inertial solution drift, we propose the MoRPINet framework consisting of a neural network to regress the robot's travelled distance. To this end, we require the mobile robot to maneuver in a snake-like slithering motion to encourage nonlinear behavior.
