You also didn't specify the accuracy, precision, or repeatability you need; and/or whether you always start from a known location.
You also implied that you care about cost, but didn't do more than that.
The project sounds like fun, but with the info you supplied so far, your "solution space" is mighty big. Potential helpers will have a hard time offering practical advice without more info.
It's Is this a homework project, or a just-for-fun, on-your-own project?

In response to your questions, I need it to follow a certain path without having anything on the ground. What I was thinking was draw a path on the ground that it can follow and memorize with either some form of triangulation or internal storage device. Yes the area will remain the same every time and yes it will start from the same location every time. This is a part of a research project I am working on for school. Thanks again.
