Abstract

The ever increasing need in industry, space, medical, military applications and other fields for robots to achieve
specific tasks has brought up a number of methods for robot motion control. These methods exploit mainly optics, magnetism, ultrasound and image processing in order to
guide a mobile robot whether through obstacles or following a specific path. This paper investigates a method
based on a horizontally scanning laser beam for straight line trajectory following by a differential platform.
Deviation correction is mainly dependent on the platform’s speed as far as it is kept to a certain level. Many difficulties
arise from a practical point of view; this includes platform design errors (motors, wheels, encoders…), road unevenness and system response to the correcting
algorithm.
