This chapter introduces the topic of navigation and the various means of accomplishing this. The focus is on Inertial Navigation Systems (gimbaled and strap‐down) and the Global Positioning System. One important factor in navigation is an understanding of the different coordinate systems. A differential‐wheel steered robot uses deduced reckoning to keep track of its position. Dead Reckoning typically uses shaft encoders or similar devices to measure the angular rotation of the wheels. Inclinometer–Compass measures the rotation of the longitudinal axis about the original z axis, i.e., yaw, via a digital compass. It measures the angle of the longitudinal axis with respect to the original xy plane, i.e., pitch, via the gravity vector. The attitude measurement from the Inclinometer/Compass could be used to convert the image from robot coordinates to earth coordinates.
