An Artificial Landmark Design Based on Mobile Robot Localization and Navigation

Autonomous mobile robots are a very dynamic part of the robotics domain, this subject which based on artificial landmarks of mobile robot localization and navigation is one of the hot topics. How to identify signs fast and accurately is the key problem to the mobile robot localization and navigation in complex and unstructured environments for mobile robots. In this paper, a new artificial landmark design is proposed based on image segmentation technology and projective method with directional feature. Finally, lots experiments are carried out, the statistical theory and experiment results show that this new landmark is a good solution to the mobile robot's identification of signs, and with the characters is easy detection, a good real-time and ant interference ability.
