A Robotic Geospacial Surveyor

摘要

This paper discusses the prototyping and testing of a mobile robot system programmed to follow a defined set of tram-lines calculated from a surrounding geo-fence which can be entered using mapping software or from a GPS device. The tracking method uses an on-board compass and a GPS sensor and an application to archaeological scanning is trialled. A solution to controlling the trajectory between latitude and longitude lines is formulated and implemented.
