Abstract

In most environments where robots are used, the challenge of obtaining a robust navigation and localization system arises. This challenge becomes more and more complicated when surrounding environment has a limited space. Therefore, the acceptable navigation error becomes a few centimetres. That is why GPS usage is not appropriate.
Other techniques and sensors are used for that purpose. There are two categories of sensors used; range sensors and object detection sensors. Each type has its scale of usage and drawbacks for other tasks.
In this work, a wheeled robot is to be designed and built from ground up that is capable of indoor navigation and localization
