Self-positioning and obstacle avoidance for an intelligent mobile robot plays an important role in the technologies of the mobile robot. Because of its capabilities of fast response and accurate measurement, the laser range finder (LRF) is a relatively good choice as a sensor for this purpose. However, there are some drawbacks of the LRF. One is that the LRF usually senses in the horizontal plane, and thus the obstacle may not be detected if it is not in the detection plane. Obstacles with high reflectivity will also cause the LRFs to have incorrect detections. Both will lead the mobile robot to a dangerous situation. In this paper, a modified tracking-learning-detection (TLD) image recognition system, which can detect multiple targets simultaneously, is used to assist LRF in positioning and obstacle avoidance.
