Autonomous robot running around "eight"

Good afternoon, colleagues,

/ > Continuing the previously published article about precision navigation (+-2cm) inside the premises, we would like to show how a simple robot based on it can ride through any difficult route completely Autonomous.

In the video below we put a mobile tracker on a simple robot and sent him to walk the route in the form of eight, than he can do for hours:



Or can you send it to run on the rectangle:




What can be done with such a system and how to:
— Hang the beacon navigation system on walls/ceilings — create the coating. Four of the beacons is sufficient to close the premises until 30х30м — the main thing that there was a direct visibility of the robot up to 3 beacons most of the time. If you have a small or temporary the shadow — people columns — no problem. The robot will use its inertial and odometrical navigation system until you go on the exposed surface and not adjust their position on the navigation system
— Next, you simply move the robot to the point where he in the future got to go, immediately see the position of the robot on the map of the navigation system, click the mouse on these points, and they memorize the map, as points of the future route of the robot. Thus, a path for robot
— All. Send the robot to the path and he begins to skate on the route, accurately tracking and correcting its position by the coordinates of the navigation system

what is:
— This is a demo not a real robot. Real robots are very different: starting from the simple robot delivery of small loads in 0.1-2kg Assembly enterprises, hotels and warehouses, to large automated industrial trucks in the hangars airports and large warehouses. But the principle of construction and use of the navigation system is simple and the same for all these robots: (1) the robot receives the coordinates from the navigation system and (2) adjusts its position in space according to this
We used a wheeled robot for the demo because of the simplicity. But with a few changes, instead of the wheeled robot is to use a copter and send it flying along the route of any complexity on a given trajectory (in 3D!) or leave it hanging at the same point (+-2cm) without any significant drift in time

Happy to answer your questions and comments.

Kind regards,
Maxim
