Navigating Mobile Robots: Systems and Techniques

By J. Borenstein, H. R. Everett, Liqiang Feng

This is a survey of the state-of-the-art in sensors, systems, methods and technologies utilized by a mobile robot to determine its position in the environment. The many potential solutions are roughly categorized into two groups: relative and absolute position measurements.
