Here is an Idea. If you know where you are sort of, then you can program
an object into memory at a certian distance(a wall perhaps). Once the
robot hits something, it checks to see if it is about at the distance
programmed into it. If it is, then it just updates the position data with
the known value. That way, certian objects can be placed at known
positions and used for positioning. The only problem would be if it did
not go perfectly straight, and missed the reference object, unless it was
a wall surrounding the area.

While many of these designs are a credit to the designer concerned, I can't help but wonder if they (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
