Abstract
In this paper, we find a robot's path using a Virtual Reality Modeling Language and overlay vision. For correct robot's path we describe a method for localizing a mobile robot in its working environment using a vision system and VRML. The robt identifies landmarks in the environment, using image processing and neural network pattern matching techniques, and then its performs self-positioning with a vision system based on a well-known localization algorithm. After the self-positioning procedure, the 2-D scene of the vision is overlaid with the VRML scene. This paper describes how to realize the self-positioning, and shows the overlap between the 2-D and VRML scenes. The method successfully defines a robot's path.
