This paper introuces ZigBee technolog into obile robot s research, an constructs an eperiental sste for robot navigation base on ZigBee wireless sensor network localization technolog. In this sste, robot ae a ZigBee oule takes the position as a blin noe in ZigBee network, which fors a wireless location network, together with other ZigBee reference noes. Cobine with several other algoriths like robot obstacle avoiance algorith an navigation algorith, it realizes the position an navigation of obile robot. The eperient result shows that the ZigBee-base robot position an navigation etho iscusse in this paper can eet the requireents of obile robot navigation applications.. Introuction Kewors: ZigBee, Mobile Robot, Positioning, Navigation Mobile robot is a cople sste which rouns up a set of functions, such as environental awareness, naic ecision-aking, behavioral control an ipleentation an so on. In the stu an application of the robot, its position an navigation is the ost basic an iportant issue, an it is one of the ke technologies to achieve real intelligent an copletel autonoous obile robot. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is constitute b a large nuber of low-cost icro sensor noes which are arrange in the onitoring area, foring a ulti-hop self-organization network through wireless counication. Therefore, the noes can collaborativel perceive, collect an process the object s inforation in the coverage area of the network, then sen it to the observers. ZigBee-WSN technolog will epan the perception real of obile robot, an provie a new wa for robot s localization an navigation. This paper cobines the avantages of ZigBee-WSN an obile robot to buil a ZigBeebase position an navigation sste of obile robot. In the environent of WSN, this sste etens robot s perception b ZigBee technolog, to locate robot accuratel an then navigate it... ZigBee-WSN overview WSN is copose of a large nuber of sall sensor noes. It onitors the object s real-tie inforation through various icro-sensors, which will be processe b the ebee coputing resource an be transitte to reote users via wireless counication network. The fraework of WSN sste is as shown in Figure, which generall inclues sensor noes, sink noe an anageent noe.

Fraework of WSN sste Sensor noe is usuall an ebee sste, its processing power an storage capacit are relativel weak, an its counication istance is quite liite. Sink noe usuall has a strong processing power, storage capacit an counications capabilities. It can be either an enhance sensor noe which has sufficient energ suppl, ore eor resources an coputing power, or a particular gatewa evice with wireless counication interface. Sink noe connects WSN with the eternal network, achieves the counication between anageent noe an WSN through the protocol conversion. Accoringl, the ata collecte can be forware to the eternal network, an siultaneousl the tasks subitte b anageent noe will be poste. ZigBee is a new technolog of WSN eploent. It is a wireless network technolog focusing on low power, low cost, low copleit, low-rate an short-range wireless counications. ZigBee protocol efines several laers. Each laer is responsible for its own uties an provies services to the upper. Coplete ZigBee protocol is constitute b high-level application specification, application laer, network laer, ata link laer an phsical laer. Its phsical an MAC laer aopt IEEE stanar, but iprove an epane on that basis. Its network laer, application laer an high-level application specification rafte b the ZigBee Alliance. Accoring to the protocol, its frequenc ban is ivie into three bans, which are 868MHZ, 95MHZ an.4ghz, the oulation oe an transission rate on each ban are ifferent..4ghz frequenc ban is ivie into 6 channels an its ata rate is 50kbps. The channel nubers of 868/95MHZ ban are corresponingl an 0, transission rates are 0 an 40kbps. The ain features of ZigBee technolog are following: a) Low ata rate. Onl 0kbps ~ 50kbps, focus on low-transission applications. b) Low power consuption. In the low power stanb oe, two coon 5 V batteries can sustain ore than 6 onths. c) Low cost. Both low ata rate an siple protocol reuce the cost greatl. ) Large network capacit. Each ZigBee network can support at ost 55 evices, which eans each ZigBee evice connects with other 54 evices. e) Low ela. Dela is usuall 5 ~ 30s. f) Sall effective range. Its effective coverage ranges fro 0 to 75, epening on the actual transission power an application pattern... Mobile robot overview Mobile robot is a kin of intelligent robot with highl self-planning, self-organizing an aaptive capacit, which is suitable for working in cople unstructure environents. As one of the iportant robot branches, obile robot s cobination an foration are of great fleibilit because of its autono an obilit. An this gives it greater fleibilit an aaptabilit of applications. In orer to achieve autonoousl ove, obile robot ust have accurate perception, reliable navigation an goo oveent sste. The ke technolog involves sensing technolog, navigation an positioning technolog, echanical esign, otion control, architecture, sart technolog an so on. Aong which, the navigation is a vital issue in the research of

Januar 0 autonoous obile robots, an critical to achieve a real intelligent an full autonoous obile robot. Currentl, technologies use in location an navigation of autonoous obile robots can ainl be ivie into two categories: () Robot itself recors the oveent b sensors like coe iscs, electronic groscopes an acceleroeters, calculating the current location b integrating. () Deterine the relative position of the robot an the environent b raar, laser range finer, iage atching, etc. an then get the location. However, because of the strong obilit an oeling ifficult of obile robot, the error accuulate in the first etho has greater ipact on the positioning accurac. The secon approach is of high cost an nees for aitional epensive ancillar equipent..3. Integrate ZigBee with obile robot WSN can continuousl onitor a wie range of the environent, but its ata processing an eecution abilit is quite liite. Mobile robots are with strong coputing power an obilit, but their liitations of perception restrict their intellectual evelopent. In view of their respective avantages an characteristics of ZigBee-WSN an obile robot, people began to seek a cobination to for a new sste of istribute sensing an control network. Integrate ZigBee with obile robot can enhance the robot's perception abilit an the sensor network s control to environent. ZigBee can, not onl provie global real-tie awareness for the obile robot, but also be a eiu between calculation an counication. Meanwhile, obile robot can be a fleible eecutor to anage an aintain the network. Thus it is clear that the research on ZigBee-base obile robot navigation is of great significance.. Sste fraework overview ZigBee-base obile robot navigation sste is ainl constitute b three coponents: WSN use for navigation, navigate obile robot an ZigBee network coorinator. The fraework of sste is as shown in Figure. Figure. Fraework chart of sste ZigBee-WSN consists of an ZigBee wireless sensor noes with location abilit, which are bestrewe in the robot work area, as reference noes of the network with CC430 oule. Reference noe is a known static noe; its coorinate, is fie, an has no position calculation function. Mobile robot is a special feature noe in WSN, carring the wireless counications an positioning oule, as blin noe of the network with CC43 oule. Blin noe is a kin of obile noe, which can ake an oveent in the area encircle b reference noes, an blin noe ust use CC43 chip. The ifference between CC43 an CC430 is that CC43 has a wireless location engine, which can calculate the location of the blin noe in network to achieve Receive Signal Strength Inicator (RSSI)-base positioning. In other wors, blin noe autoaticall receives RSSI fro the reference noes, runs location algorith autoaticall with these RSSIs, an finall calculates its own position,

Januar 0 When robot locates itself, it will enable its navigation algorith an behavior control progra to conuct path planning an behavior operation. ZigBee network coorinator serves as the gatewa, responsible for the services an coorination of the wireless network. It can connect with the onitoring terinal (PC) b wire or wireless eans. Mobile robot s coorinate is sent to the onitoring terinal b the gatewa, an the terinal controls the behavior of obile robot through the gatewa. In aition, the bining table, routing tables an equipent inforation can be store in PC, to reuce the buren on the coorinator an iprove network efficienc. 3. Ke algoriths 3.. Noe localization In applications of WSN, location inforation is ver iportant for onitoring network activities, eterining the location of the incient an collecting ata are two basic functions of WSN. Accoring to the nee for easuring the actual istance between noes when locating, the location algoriths can be ivie into istance-easure location an non-istance location. The forer uses actual istance to calculate the location of unknown noe, b easuring the istance or the location inforation between sensor noes; the latter has no nee to easure the actual istance between noes, it estiates the istance between noes an calculates the location onl b the network connectivit an other inforation. Non-istance location has nothing to o with the actual istance an orientation, which reuces the harware requireents of the noe. But its positioning accurac is relativel low. Distance-easure location can provie high positioning accurac. At present, the coonl use istance-easure technologies are RSSI, TOA (Tie of Arrival), TDOA (Tie Difference of Arrival) an AOA (Angle of Arrival). In which, RSSI has avantages of eas realization an low cost, its positioning accurac is up to 3. The basic principle of RSSI-base location is: knowing the signal strength of sening noe, the receiving noe can calculate the transission loss accoring to the RSSI. Then it will transfor transission loss into istance b use of theoretical or epirical oel, an use the eisting location algorith to calculate the location of the noe. Details see reference [4]. This paper uses the location engine ebee in CC43 to locate noes accoring to the istances. This engine uses Motorola wireless RSSI-base positioning etho. In this etho, 3~8 noes with known aress are as reference noes, which locate the location of the aress unknown noe. The scheatic iagra is as shown in Figure 3--. Figure 3--. RSSI location scheatic iagra First, all the noes in the network counicate with their neighbors, blin noe receives the RSSIs an coorinates of its neighboring reference noes. Then blin noe coputes its istances fro the reference noes accoring to the RSSIs receive. RSSI is a function of the TX power an the istance between the sener an receiver, the relation is as forulae (3-): RSSI 0nlog0 A (3-)

The actual paraeter n value written to the Location Engine is an integer ine value nae N, their apping table coul be foun in reference []. Finall, after obtaining the istances fro the reference noes, the blin noe uses Maiu Likelihoo Estiation Metho (see reference [4]), to calculate the coorinates of itself. The Maiu Likelihoo Estiation Metho is as shown in Figure 3--. Figure 3--.

Accoring to the istance forula between two points, the relationships between noes are as follows: (3-) Minus the forer n- forulas with the No.n respectivel, getting the following equation set: (3-3) The equation set can be epresse as: B AX Here (3-4) (3-5) (3-6)

Navigation algorith ˆ T, obtaining the In the research of obile robot navigation sste, there are two ajor probles: positioning an path planning. The RSSI-base positioning algorith entione above provies location inforation for the robot in unknown environent, which eans it has solve the positioning proble. In aition, the robot harware platfor-as-uiii intelligent obile robot aopte b this eperient, which coes with a collision sensor, can avoi obstacle when oving. This paper cobines the above two technologies, figuring out a siple navigation algorith. Robot can get its coorinates at an tie fro the wireless location oule uring locootion, an eterine its travel irection b coparing with the target coorinates. If the robot encounters obstacles in the locootion process, its collision sensor will be triggere, an it will autoaticall change the irection to avoi obstacles, an then re-obtain its current coorinates to eterine the irection of travel. Repeat this process until the robot reaches the target. In aition, the robot's current irection can be evaluate b the two consecutive coorinates easure. The principle of navigation is shown in Figure 3--, the WSN area covere b eight reference noes is a square, an the blin noe (blue ots) can ake an ove in it. The re ot represents the target, its coorinates M,N is set in the behavior control progra. Figure 3--. Navigation algorith scheatic iagra Suppose the two consecutive coorinates easure b blin noe were X, Y, X,Y, then the current irection can be consiere as angle with the X ais as arke in the iagra. Accoring to the latest coorinates X,Y an the target coorinates M,N, we can copute the net irection shoul be angle with the X ais as shown, an then we get the angle robot shoul turnθ α β. When selecting the net irection of travel, this etho uses the real-tie environental inforation of the WSN. So, it can be applie to robot navigation sste in naic environent. 4. Sste ipleentation 4..
