Hello,
I think about a little robot, which is able to move around a 'normal'
room/flat and always knows where he stands. The current version of my
robot is able to detect the speed and direction he is moving. But as
everybody can imagine, the error grows and the accuracy of the position
fades away. Now i think about using 2 or 3 IR beacons in conjunction
with a custom IR Sensor to determine the actual position of the robot
inside the room
Now my question:
Has anybody played around with triangulation or are there other
suggestions in how to calculate the position of the robot. My girlfriend
insists, not to paint rectangular shapes on the floor. So I thought of
another solution.
regards Carsten
