I have noticed a lot of effort being put into the most
ingenius robot platforms designed to increase the accuracy
and repeatability of navigation. While many of these designs
are a credit to the designer concerned, I can't help but wonder
if they will ever solve the inherent random friction loss
problems which end up integrating small directional erros into
large location errors.
Is anyone else working on possible techniques, like electronic
compasses to correct heading errors and echo location to
correct position errors?
I think the open loop approach will be very hard to tame with
the kind of mechanical accuracies available.

Once the robot hits something, it checks to see if it is about at the distance programmed into it. If it is, (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
