Multi-Robot Position Tracking
Abstract
Accurate navigation is just one of the many challenges for successfully coordinating multiple robot interaction. It is especially important when trying to quantify the success of new techniques being developed to achieve coordinated formation maneuvering. This paper presents the experimental procedures followed while determining robot navigation error along with an evaluation of the resultant measurements. An inexpensive, easily configurable, camera system is presented that shows the potential to provide accurate position information. Along with a description of the system configuration, test procedures and test data are presented and evaluated. Finally, a comparison of the robot navigation error to that of the proposed camera system is presented.
