Three Different Approaches for Localization in a Corridor Environment by Means of an Ultrasonic Wide Beam

In this paper the authors present three methods to detect the position and orientation of an observer, such as a mobile robot, with respect to a corridor wall. They use an inexpensive sensor to spread a wide ultrasonic beam. The sensor is rotated by means of an accurate servomotor in order to propag...
