Positioning and navigation systems and methods

A method includes receiving relative position data from a laser range finder, where the relative position data includes a distance and a relative angle between a first node and a second node measured by the laser range finder from a first position of the first node. The method may also include compu...

Zusammenfassung:A method includes receiving relative position data from a laser range finder, where the relative position data includes a distance and a relative angle between a first node and a second node measured by the laser range finder from a first position of the first node. The method may also include computing a second position of the second node based on the relative position data, providing the second position of the second node to a computing device of one or more of the first node and the second node, and computationally reconstructing a route traversed by the first node and the second node from a number of computed positions for the first node and the second node based on data received from the laser range finder.
