      In mobile robot navigation, ``localization'' is the process of estimating the location of the robot within its environment. For the localization aspect of navigation, an exact combinatorial algorithm with complexity analysis is suggested. The method is based on a geometric model of the world and a point-and-shoot ranging device. Moreover, a rasterized version of the algorithm is given for execution upon a mobile robot, where sensor uncertainty can be taken into account. Some experimental results are given.
