Abstract

The authors state mobile robot motion control peculiarities induced by the operation of geolocation sensors. This paper specifies features of geolocation sensors – GPS receiver and electronic compass (magnetometer). The lay of the land and man-made structures are obstacles for GPS signals. The paper describes the precision of the GPS receiver and offers a method that can reduce the probable error of the GPS signal. This method is a program digital filter based on finding GPS data kernel – the most likely mobile robot location, expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. The paper formulates functioning principles of the six-wheeled robot movement automatic control system that uses geolocation sensors data.
