A Method of Successive Moving Baseline Estimation of a Slow Speed Robot based on GNSS Positioning

摘要

The GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is currently used in a variety of applications [1], and its positioning accuracy requirements become more and more demanding. We focus on an automatic strawberry pollination robot (under development in Kobe City College of Technology) and study a method of successive moving baseline vector estimation [2]. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate accurate successive moving baseline vectors based on the difference of the single GNSS receiver observables obtained at two successive observation time (epoch). Furthermore, we also propose a method to estimate the bias error included in the moving baseline vector. Throughout the experiment, the proposed method and the relative positioning method are compared that the error is 0.97 [cm].
