Electronic system for indoor navigation control of one or more robots

Described herein is an electronic navigation control system for controlling the navigation of one or more robots in an indoor environment, each one of said robots comprising an electronic processing system, a drive system, microcontrollers, at least one tracker, said electronic control system being characterized in that it comprises: – a tracking system operating at infrared frequencies, positioned in and facing towards said indoor environment, adapted to co-operate with said tracker of each one of said robots, – at least two optical- signal video cameras, in mutually orthogonal positions in said indoor environment, – an electronic processing system comprising: – a tracking manager, adapted to transform said indoor environment into a 3D space and adapted to receive signals from said tracking system, thereby determining the position and orientation of each one of said robots, – an obstacle manager, adapted to process the optical signal received from said at least two video cameras and to identify or track obstacles that are present in said indoor environment, – a movement manager adapted to receive information from said tracking manager and obstacle manager, and adapted to map said indoor environment to an equivalent virtual environment, and to produce signals controlling the direction and sense of motion of said one or more robots by communicating with said electronic processing system of said one or more robots.
