Subject: Robot tracking


My company manufactures a tracking system for environmental surveying.  It
is a complement to GPS for use in wooded areas and indoors.
I have not worked with the RCX controller, but I am considering developing a
very lightweight and inexpensive (~$200) tracking and control system for RCX
controlled robots. The system would track the robot throughout a 20 ft x 20
ft room at a 1 Hz rate with an accuracy of 1-2 inches. In principle, the
system could also permit the computer to send control signals to the RCX to
keep it on a predefined path, for instance. Is there any interest in such a
system?
