Abstract :
Finding the desired path for a mobile robot in order to perform cleaning efficiently is a difficult task. Moreover, in complex indoor environments, mobile robot position estimation and its correction remains to be one big problem. This paper describes a cleaning robot system, which is composed of path indication and auto position estimation. This system allows the user to teach the robot a determined cleaning path and provides long time cleaning stability
