Feedback control systems Robotics Dissertations -- Electronic engineering Theses -- Electronic engineering Electrical and Electronic Engineering Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. Position calculation of mobile objects has challenged engineers and designers for years and is still continuing to do so. There are many solutions available today. Probably the best known and most widely used outdoor system today is the Global Positioning System (GPS). There are very little systems available for indoor use. An absolute positioning system was developed for this thesis. It uses a combination of ultrasonic and Radio Frequency (RF) communications to calculate a position fix in doors. Radar techniques were used to ensure robustness and reliability even in noisy environments. A small mobile robot was designed and built to test and illustrate the use of the system. 2008-08-11T08:21:31Z 2010-06-01T08:32:59Z 2008-08-11T08:21:31Z 2010-06-01T08:32:59Z 2005-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/1776 en University of Stellenbosch application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch |
