Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the current implementation status of the absolute position recognition technique using sonars for the navigation of a mobile robot. Using this technique, we have developed the supervisory controller of the autonomous vacuum cleaning robot which can recognize the user-specified origin, moves its body to the origin, and follow the specified trajectory starting from the origin. With the satisfactory results, we expect the autonomous cleaning robot to be commercialized in a very near future.
