Microcontroller based system for 2D localisation

In this paper a new system for the 2D localisation of moving objects is presented. Particularly, the system is useful for mobile robot navigation in industrial, service or research applications. The system combines laser and radiofrequency technology to determine object or robot position and orientation. The system is robust, simple and inexpensive, and compensates for the effect of the object or robot movement in the localisation algorithm.
