Abstract
The paper describes the benefits and drawbacks of different strategies for docking and positioning of autonomous vehicles based on visual feedback. Three algorithms are described in detail, and extensive experiments with an implementation of the algorithms on our test-bed Autonomous Guided Vehicle are documented.
