New positioning system for the CSL Robotics Laboratory Testbed
A new positioning system is proposed for the B16 Robotics Laboratory testbed. The system is vision based and distributed. Each mobile agent is responsible for solving its individual positioning problem. The modified algorithm implements detection and identification techniques for position markers, …
