Mapping algorithm using ultrasonic and compass sensor on autonomous mobile robot

Abstract

Mapping is the process to represent the environment into other forms such as a sketch map or the other. Process mapping provides the solution of the problem of how a robot can automatically recognize the environment and how robots can provide information such as maps representations of the environment around the robot. There are many choices of sensors that can be used, depends on method used. In this paper, it will be discussed on mapping algorithm with a simple sensor and a simple method. This paper also discusses the mapping algorithm will use ultrasonic sensors and compass sensors.
