Popis: This paper presents a neural network based approach to a mobile robot localization in front of a certain local object. The robot is equipped with ultrasonic range sensors mounted around the platform. We employ the Fuzzy-ARTMAP network for supervised learning of associations between vectors of sensor readouts and the robot's pose coordinates. In this approach, a world model in the form of a map, as well as its updating routine, become superflous for the considered problem solution. The system, trained on real world data of a door neighborhood region reveals satisfactory performance, sufficient for door-passing task purposes. The proposed method of a mobile robot positioning may be efficiently applied in environments containing natural, geometrical beacons.
