摘要
We describe an algorithm for robot navigation using a sensor network embedded in the environment. Sensor nodes act as signposts for the robot to follow, thus obviating the need for a map or localization on the part of the robot. Navigation directions are computed within the network (not on the robot) using value iteration. Using small low-power radios, the robot communicates with nodes in the network locally, and makes navigation decisions based on which node it is near. An algorithm based on processing of radio signal strength data was developed so the robot could successfully decide which node neighborhood it belonged to. Extensive experiments with a robot and a sensor network confirm the validity of the approach.
