Abstract
It's important for mobile robot to recognize its absolute position. But many method of self localization depends on the robot structure or the device in the environment. So, we have to develop self localization device depending each robot. We propose a new self localization method (DFIT: Dual Floor Image Tracking), visual tracking of floor image with two cameras. This method of localization is suitable for robot with various movement mechanisms like tire, crawler, or hovercraft. In this paper, we examined technical technique and result of evaluation test of this self localization method.
