Method for autonomous localisation of a driver-less motorised vehicle

摘要

A map of area is created based on natural landmarks (14,16), and the preset route along which the vehicle (10) is to move is set. The landmarks that serve as a route along preset location is determined, and the environment (12) is scanned at different times using a sensor (22) for detecting the preset landmarks while the vehicle moves along preset route. The vehicle is located by comparing the detected landmarks with destination shown on map landmarks. The speed and/or direction of rotation of sensor motor (24) are controlled such that sensor is aligned on few preset landmarks.
