The objective of this research is to obtain a low-cost and high precision docking. An infrared and laser guidance method was used to sense the environment and accurately position for docking. Firstly, the robot was made to lock on the beam using a vertical light stripe laser beam that emanated from the docking station along its centerline of attachment and normal to the wall and steered its way into the station by keeping the beam central to the array, and then infrared sensors measured the distance between the robot and the docking station to pull the robot into its final resting place. The corresponding algorithms for controlling the motor were put forward. Experimental results show that docking accuracy of less than 4 mm is achieved.
