Abstract

In this paper we present a system for localizing a team of soccer robots using ultrasound. The proposed system uses chirp signals to obtain a better signal to noise ratio with good time resolution and improved interference immunity. An array of four ultrasonic sensors is used to obtain spatial diversity and reduce the localization error. An efficient DSP algorithm for base-band conversion and decimation of the received pulses is also presented. The proposed system based on the TI DSP 2812 is very efficient and allows the localization of the robots up to 8 meters with an angular error with a maximum standard deviation of 2°.
