Low cost, mobile field robotic platform positioning to achieve positioning precision less than 0,1% (10 cm) over distance 100 m is described. Main applications for described system are robotized agriculture tasks. Known 0,1% precision systems are too expensive for wide use in agriculture production automation. Described positioning method use compass, gyroscope, accelerometer and distance to passive targets, read by laser rangefinder, microprocessor processing and control as well as main computer as pre-defined path set-up device and storage database for read values.
