Many mobile robotics applications, especially in industrial environments, require\nthe robot to perform safe navigation and then reach the goal with a high\nprecision. In this research work, the objective is to analyze the appropriateness\nof autonomous natural navigation strategies for mobile manipulation\ntasks. The system must position itself in a realistic map, follow a path closely\nand then achieve an accurate positioning in the destination point in order to\nbe able to perform the manipulation, inspection or pick task efficiently. Autonomous\nnavigation is not able to fulfill the accuracy required by some of\nthe jobs so that a second positioning system using vision is proposed in this\npaper. The experiments show that localization systems have, on average, an\nerror greater than a decimetre and how an additional positioning system can\nreduce it to a few millimetres.
