Evolution Robotics "NorthStar" Indoor Optical Positioning System, based on Infra Red

This system allows robots to guide themselves using Infra Red (IR) dots projected on the ceiling. From the press release: "Unlike GPS however, NorthStar works indoors, is more precise" Granted it works indoor, but that's a bogus comparison. GPS doesn't need to have dots projected all over :) [press release from Evolution Robotics] [via i4u]
