We're working on a project that requires an
autonomous robot to manage the localization problem.
We started by trying just dead-reckoning.
We've tried a number of different gearing set-ups
and wheel configurations, including using a dual
differential, but all have significant drift making
the calculations off quite a bit.
One possibility would be to use a compass as a way
to check the amount of error in direction. Then we
could put in an error correction routine. Has anyone
successfully wired a compass sensor to the RCX?
Another possibility is to use landmark detection.
But the limited sensor input makes this difficult.
Anyone have experience with this?
