Robot Indoor Navigation Using Visible Light Communication

Abstract

This work developed a robot indoor navigation system using visible light communication (VLC) technique. The movement direction of the robot is followed by the movement control signal transmitted from each VLC LED Lamp. The route planning system calculates the path from the user's location and the destination and the selected points, and based on the user's setting is shortest distance or priority path. The system contains several VLC LED Lamps, a VLC robot, a smart phone with Robot control App, and a server.
