[Playerstage-users] Sensing the directions/bearings of other robots/objects

[Lantao L. <la...@cs...>]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible for a mobile robot (say the create)
to know the directions/bearings of other robots or objects? In my
project the mobile robots need to know the distances and directions of
given static objects, and certain level measurement errors are allowed.

If it is possible, then what sorts of sensors should I prepare? If there
is examples or principles, that would be great. (I would assume it needs
compass, and maybe peripheral inferred sensors around the robot...)

Thanks in advance.
