Abstract
This paper describes a robust navigation method for real-world environments. The method uses a 3-axis magnetic sensor and a laser range scanner. The magnetic field that occurs in the environment is used as key landmarks in the proposed navigation method, and physical landmarks scanned by the laser range scanner are taken into account in compensating for the mobile robot’s lateral error. An evaluation experiment was conducted during the final run of the Real World Robot Challenge (RWRC) 2013, and the result showed that the mobile robot equipped with the proposed method robustly navigated a 1.6 km course.
