This paper proposes a method of improving selfposition estimation accuracy with metallic landmarks for mobile robots. Many methods of the past selfposition estimation researches have used GPS, laserrange scanners, and CCD cameras, but have been unable to obtain landmark information correctly due to environmental factors. Metallic landmarks are useful in environments where conventional sensors do not work well. Self-position estimation accuracy is thus increased by combining metallic landmark information with that from other equipment.
