Abstract

A new approach to relative position estimation in multi-robot systems, based on information of laser scanner systems, is presented. An Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is used to obtain continuously updated position estimation. All robots of a group use these data in order to generate one common coordinate system. Experimental results are presented, including formation movement as an example application.
