Hi, I am trying to design a robot that can find its way to a target location, and i want to explore the option using ultrasonic receivers and transmitters. What if i were to put a transmitter on the target, would i be able to program a robot that will find the target? Is there any Parallax products here i can use?

I am pretty new at this so any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.

    An ultrasonic transmitter on the target and a pair of receivers on the robot measuring the relative TOA of the pulses might work.
