Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe a comprehensive system of two robots that are able to localize each other in real-time using an infrared communication. The robots start from a distance between 10 and 50 cm and they do not know each other's position. The can only communicate by a half-duplex channel. The robots use a simple localization algorithm to meet.
