NAVIGATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING SUCH A METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a navigation method that comprises: (a) controlling the movement of an automaton; (b) estimating the position of said automaton relative to a set of beacons (4) based on a previously estimated position, on data relative to the movement of said automaton, and on a movement estimation mathematical function; (c) detecting the presence of a beacon from the set of beacons in the vicinity of said automaton and, upon one such detection, updating said estimated position based on a known position of said detected beacon; and (d), when consecutively detecting at least two beacons having the same predetermined attribute among at least two different possible attributes, modifying said movement estimation function based on said attribute and on said position update made in step (c).
