Self-contained map based navigation in autonomous robotic units
Abstract
Autonomous robotic units such as reconnaissance robots are dependent on reliable and precise sources of navigation data. In some circumstances the positoning solutions widely available today, GPS and commercial IPS-solutions, are not enough to secure reliable positioning data due to their sensitivity to electromagnetic- and radio-interference. This thesis proposes a set of algorithms and techniques that can be used as a part of a standalone positionrecognition system that provides another level of redundancy in such appliances
