<title>Location Of A Vehicle With A Laser Range Finder</title>

摘要

Absolute location of a mobile robot is necessary to improve the autonomy of vehicle built for hostile environments. We are developing a scanning laser range finder based on triangulation to get range data about the edges of a cylindrical polyhedral world. From the matching between the measurements and data computed from a model of the a priori known environment, the position of the robot is deduced accurately.
