Hi John, A localization scheme I have used with the RCX is uses the angles between light beacons in known locations, measured with a rotating light sensor. Two angles (3 beacons) are enough to calculate, with a bit of trig, the robot coordinates and (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) There are lots of interesting varients on that theme: 1) A lateral thinking way to do that is to reverse the situation. Put a rotating laser pointer on top of the robot and hook up light sensors in the corners of the room to another (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I also played with a light beacon system, but with a twist. Well actually two twists. I used small pieces of "rear view mirror repair kit" mirror to make some 45 degree rotatable mirrors. These mirrors were used to make beacons with (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
