Abstract :
We propose a new system for vision-based mobile robot navigation in an unmodeled environment. Simple, unobtrusive artificial landmarks are used as navigation and localization aids. The landmark patterns are designed so that they can be reliably detected in real-time in images taken with the robot´s camera over a wide range of viewing configurations. The code for the recognition algorithm is available in the web site
