An open problem in robotics is the one dealing with the way a mobile robot locates itself inside a specific area. There are several ways to approach this problem using different kind of sensors to find predefined landmarks or  calculate  the robot's position based on the distance it has covered. We discuss a solution using machine learning strategies that makes use of a camera as a single sensor and a reduced database that contains all the information needed to determine the position of the robot.
