Abstract :
This paper establishes the laser guided measuring robot (LGMR) kinematics model and measurement model based on the research on its structure and working principle. A novel scheme is proposed for LGMR localization using wireless network technology, which integrates the in-network processing capability of a sensor network and the on board sensing and processing power of LGMR, also, the wireless sensor network has in-network processing capability which enables distributed acquisition and storage of the local map. Intensive experimental studies have been made to check validity of the proposed method, the results show that the scheme can be integrated to LGMR and guide it to required destination under automaticity and accuracy constraints.
