Abstract
This paper describes a trajectory tracking method using environmental magnetic field for outdoor autonomous mobile robots. In this research, a 3-axis magnetic sensor is used to scan DC magnetic field in the outdoor environment to build a database. The robot then performs trajectory tracking based on the database. The experimental results show that by applying the proposed method the robot is possibly able to navigate in the outdoor environment with a reliable accuracy.
