Abstract
An integrated ultrasonic robot tracking system that combines both a time-of -flight (TOF) and a Doppler tracking system is introduced. As TOF and Doppl er tracking systems both have advantages and limitations, better accuracy a nd resolution can be achieved in three-dimensional dynamic robot tracking b y combining the two systems. In the paper, the working principles, structur e and experimental results for the TOF, Doppler and the combined tracking s ystem are described in detail.
