摘要
Titan is a mobile robot built for outdoor navigation research. In this paper, we report on research into navigation along concrete paths through a park using the edge of the path as a continuous landmark. Titan measures its location relative to the path edge with a continuous transmission frequency modulated (CTFM) ultrasonic sensor and steers to follow a trajectory relative to the edge. When it loses the edge, it commences a recovery strategy. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
