Abstract

This paper describes the integration of 20 stimulus-driven robot localization and positioning with a token-based correspondence method in a practical robot navigation system. The approach is interesting because it allows for modular acquisition and update of world knowledge for navigation, and robustness of navigation to low-level errors. No special marking of the world is necessary, so the robot may operate in quite general environments. Tests in a real industrial environment confirm the potential of the method.
