  • Abstract
    Human navigational principles are researched and applied to mobile robotic applications. Two principles, constant optical rate and angular constancy, can be used by a fielder or mobile robot to define a trajectory for interception of a projectile without knowledge of the ball´s or fielder´s world coordinates. Two novel, robust, viewer-centered algorithms, a passive and an active version, are modeled and experimentally validated.
