	abstract = {<p>In this paper a novel higher order method for the resolution of non linear equations is proposed. The particular application to the mobile robot navigation in an environment with obstacles is considered. The proposed method is based on the {\em embedded-relaxed} approach in which the dimension of the resolution space is augmented and a different and faster direction toward the root is computed. The method is proved to converge with higher order for the augmented resolution space of dimension 2 and 3. Finally, the method is applied to the problem of mobile robot navigation between obstacles considered as repulsive potentials.</p>

	abstract = {<p>In this paper, we consider the problem of localizing a mobile vehicle moving in an unstructured environment, based on triangulation measurements derived from processed optical information. The problem is shown to be intrinsically nonlinear, in the sense that the linear approximation of the system has different structural properties than the original model. In particular, linearized approximations are non{\textendash}observable, while results obtained from differential{\textendash}geometric nonlinear system theory prove the possibility of reconstructing the position and orientation of the vehicle and the position of the obstacles in the environment from optical information.</p>},
