A mapping system (1500) and method which establish a number of navigation nodes and paths among them for a robot in an environment to be navigated by directing the robot to a selected location in the environment, designating that location as a first node, identifying the initial direction of a path to a second node such as by locating a navigation beacon proximate the second node, and moving the robot in the initial direction from the first node while measuring distance travelled along the path to the second node. The mapping system (1500) comprises a directing module (1502), path identification module (1504), robot movement command system (1506), path measuring assembly (1508) and node define system (1512). |
