Active localization techniques for mobile robots in the real world

Active localization is the best cost-effective technique for mobile robotics in the real world: it allows accurate positioning in different environments with great flexibility and minimal environmental impact. In this paper different techniques to reach an accurate positioning with active localization systems are presented. Static and dynamic localization paradigms have been considered separately and solutions for both cases are presented. Simulation and experimental results in real environments are also discussed.

The traditional method for controlling the trajectories of an AGV in industrial environments is based on wire-guide systems. This paper describes a multi level architecture for mobile robots that integrates a high level mission planner, a real-time trajectory generator, and real-time motion control. The positioning accuracy is guaranteed by an active localization system that integrates in real-time the odometry measures giving position and orientation with high level resolution. This architecture allows the removal of the wire guidance system in AGV technology, and the introduction of an intelligent trajectory generation system at shop floor factory level.
