<p><b>Robot localization</b> denotes the robot's ability to establish its own position and orientation within the <a href="Frame_of_reference" title="Frame of reference">frame of reference</a>. <a href="Path_planning" class="mw-redirect" title="Path planning">Path planning</a> is effectively an extension of localization, in that it requires the determination of the robot's current position and a position of a goal location, both within the same frame of reference or coordinates. Map building can be in the shape of a metric map or any notation describing locations in the robot frame of reference.
</p><p>For any mobile device, the ability to navigate in its environment is important. Avoiding dangerous situations such as collisions and unsafe conditions (<a href="Operating_temperature" title="Operating temperature">temperature</a>, radiation, exposure to weather, etc.) comes first, but if the robot has a purpose that relates to specific places in the robot environment, it must find those places.
This article will present an overview of the skill of navigation and try to identify the basic blocks of a robot <a href="Navigation_system" title="Navigation system">navigation system</a>, types of navigation systems, and closer look at its related building components.
</p><p>Robot navigation means the robot's ability to determine its own position in its <a href="Frame_of_reference" title="Frame of reference">frame of reference</a> and then to plan a path towards some goal location. In order to navigate in its environment, the robot or any other mobility device requires representation, i.e. a map of the environment and the ability to <i>interpret</i> that representation.
</p><p>Navigation can be defined as the combination of the three fundamental competences:<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Vision-based navigation or optical navigation uses <a href="Computer_vision" title="Computer vision">computer vision</a> algorithms and optical sensors, including laser-based <a href="Rangefinder" title="Rangefinder">range finder</a> and photometric cameras using <a href="Charge-coupled_device" title="Charge-coupled device">CCD</a> arrays, to extract the <a href="Feature_(computer_vision)" title="Feature (computer vision)">visual features</a> required to the localization in the surrounding environment. However, there are a range of techniques for navigation and localization using vision information, the main components of each technique are:
</p>
<ul><li>representations of the environment.</li>
<li>sensing models.</li>
<li>localization algorithms.</li></ul>
<p>In order to give an overview of vision-based navigation and its techniques, we classify these techniques under <a href="#Indoor_Navigation">indoor navigation</a> and <a href="#Outdoor_Navigation">outdoor navigation</a>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Indoor_navigation">Indoor navigation</h3></div>

<p>The easiest way of making a robot go to a goal location is simply to <i>guide</i> it to this location. This guidance can be done in different ways: burying an inductive loop or magnets in the floor, painting lines on the floor, or by placing beacons, markers, bar codes etc. in the environment. Such <a href="Automated_guided_vehicle" title="Automated guided vehicle"><i>Automated Guided Vehicles</i> (AGVs)</a> are used in industrial scenarios for transportation tasks. Indoor Navigation of Robots are possible by IMU based indoor positioning devices.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>There are a very wider variety of indoor navigation systems.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Autonomous_Flight_Controllers">Autonomous Flight Controllers</h3></div>
<p>Typical Open Source Autonomous Flight Controllers have the ability to fly in full automatic mode and perform the following operations;
</p>
<ul><li>Take off from the ground and fly to a defined altitude</li>
<li>Fly to one or more waypoints</li>
<li>Orbit around a designated point</li>
<li>Return to the launch position</li>
<li>Descend at a specified speed and land the aircraft</li></ul>
<p>The onboard flight controller relies on GPS for navigation and stabilized flight, and often employ additional <a href="Satellite-based_augmentation_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Satellite-based augmentation system">Satellite-based augmentation systems</a> (SBAS) and altitude (barometric pressure) sensor.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
