Abstract :
    Positioning is one of the most important and challenging problems in robot s navigation. Since that the mobile robot can be used in different places; During work and moving may need to know the current position of the robot. For this purpose, various methods and algorithms used. The method used in a robot, fits with the type of environment in which the robot moves, the type of robot, the robot s movement speed,and the size of the robot. Each of the methods, uses different tools for positioning and according to the use of various tools, provides precision grades. In addition, the cost of each of the used methods and tools,is variables. Therefore, for choosing the positioning method, should choose the appropriate method, according to the vehicle and application. In this paper, a variety of mobile robots positioning , from valid multiple sources, have been extracted, reviewed and compared; some proposals have been presented at the end.
