ZigBee-based Positioning and Navigation System for Robot

摘要

At present, the research on the technology of mobile robot navigation is under the spotlight. This paper introduces ZigBee technology into mobile robot’s research, and constructs an experimental system for robot navigation based on ZigBee wireless sensor network localization technology. In this system, robot added a ZigBee module takes the position as a blind node in ZigBee network, which forms a wireless location network, together with other ZigBee reference nodes. Combined with several other algorithms like robot obstacle avoidance algorithm and navigation algorithm, it realizes the position and navigation of mobile robot. The experiment result shows that the ZigBee-based robot position and navigation method discussed in this paper can meet the requirements of mobile robot navigation applications.
