Abstract :
A fuzzy pattern matching algorithm is presented in this paper. This algorithm is employed to recognize landmarks placed in a robot working environment. A robot localization system with a map-based-navigation is designed by applying the fuzzy pattern matching algorithm. The robot localization will have a reliable robot vision system since robustness of this algorithm. Using this algorithm for pattern recognition, an input pattern, a landmark in the robot working environment, will always find a match with its prototype pattern, which is represented a location in the robot map
