• Resumen

  • A simple, inexpensive technique is presented for the estimation of the relative positions and headings of two cooperating mobile robots. One robot carries a beacon producing a helicoidal light pattern. The other robot tracks the beacon with a camera, analyzes the pattern comparing it to a geometrical model, and extracts the required information. Some localization experiments are described showing the advantages of the method and its potential benefits for cooperative navigation
