Calibration of a Car-Like Mobile Robot with a High-Precision Positioning System

Abstract This paper presents the calibration procedure of a car-like mobile robot with a high-precision positioning system. The mobile robot, which was calibrated, is a small outdoor vehicle designed for teleoperated missions. The aim of the calibration is the achievement of an accurate locomotion, therefore the incremental propulsion sensor, the gyroscope, the propulsion actuator and the steering actuator were analyzed with the help of an active optical high-precision positioning system.
