Abstract
A visual navigation system navigates an electrically controllable apparatus such as a mobile robot. Navigation commands are generated to move the mobile apparatus based upon the location of the mobile apparatus. Once the location of the mobile apparatus is determined and the coordinates of a new position are provided, then the commands are transmitted to the mobile apparatus to relocate to the new position. The repetitive update of the location and move commands ensure the movement of the mobile apparatus without wire or rails.
