Gordon,
That is a good question. And I agree, there isn't much out there in this
regard. In my book I talk about very simple (1D) robot navigation -
remembering a place that you went to and going back to it.
As far as more complex navigation goes with Mindstorms, Anthony Fudd made a
robot with two angle sensors and three motors that can drive around in a 2D
space and know where it is at any given time. He programmed it with RCX Code.
It was designed for the June 1999 Popular Mechanics article about Mindstorms.

He had this on display at Mindfest at MIT.
