A position-referenced mobile system includes a mobile apparatus having: a chassis having a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge; a first wheel rotatably mounted proximate the first edge of the chassis; a second wheel rotatably mounted proximate the second edge of the chassis; a first motor for rotating the first wheel; a second motor for rotating the second wheel; a first encoder for monitoring an amount of rotation of the first motor; a second encoder for monitoring an amount of rotation of the second motor; a laser mounted on the chassis; and a photo detector mounted on the chassis; a controller for interpreting signals provided by the photo detector; and a plurality of reflective elements disposed at a corresponding plurality of locations that are observable by the photo detector when the mobile apparatus is located within a position detection region. |
