Looking at this i see that ther are two mthords i can do. i was just woundering which one is the best. could some please tell if i should use metric or topological maps. What are there features in the context of mobile robot navigation and waht are advantages and disadvantages when used for robot
localization
Thanks

You could just put "dots" (to be picked up by a camera) on the walls or surfaces to define the parameters which would almost be the same as using measuring tape.
Anytime one uses an old parallel port, a 4017 decade counter/divider (Radio Shack catalog # 276-2417), a 5 volt power supply, several linear potentiometers, a few diodes, and an old graphics card to hook up the potentiometers to, as the joystick input. One creates an animatronics’ interface in which a potentiometer is selected by and through the old parallel port. (I used over 10 years ago long before the war for a public access cartoon show.) Instead of the potentiometers, one can use stepper motor controllers. Anyone can do it. Easy do not use new equipment. And please have the privilege of being called a loser. This is basically all the software and hardware (if you include a camera) to do what ever. And you would have more technology then any soldier in the military.
In short, nothing. It takes nothing to do what you what to do.
