Abstract
Within an indoor setting and upon a floor-based mobile platform, exists one servomotor-controlled IR distance measuring sensor, while some distance away exists a passive and fixed reflector. The IR sensor operates to acquire and track the fixed reflector, the relative bearing of such defining navigation by a single reference point with obstacle detection.
