Tracking position of an autonomous robot
how people go determining position of autonomous ground robot (relative charging station)? robot in question roam around house building map of walls , furniture, , maybe useful once has information. imagine it's possible accelerometer, there sensor better suited task?
it's not possible accelerometer. if try calculate position based on acceleration readings on time you'll find off course within few seconds. accelerometers not precise enough.
indoors best chance using infrared beacons. if want find charging station rover can bump around until sees beacon , home in on it. if create multiple beacons , have each emit specific (remote control) signal rover can triangulation.
an arduino isn't right board mapping. not enough memory. if use raspberry pi can use upward facing camera , fiducials on ceiling triangulate position , quite accurately (google "reactivision").
