In this paper, a precise locating method is presented which is based on machine vision for autonomous mobile robots formation. According to the request of real-time control system, at first, we adopt patterns based on texture as the features of robots formation, then utilize sub-pixel algorithm to find feature points, at last, use least square method to locate mobile robot quickly. The outcome of experiments in the lab indicates the effectiveness of the method. It is also robust against environment noise
