Abstract
The aim of the paper (a case study) is to design a concept and propose suitable methods and algorithms, that would allow the build-up of an intelligent self-guided autonomous vehicle. The system is designed to be capable of robust autonomous navigation, simple task planning and execution for industrial and/or office purposes as material transportation, mail delivery, etc.
The presented approach aims to reach the goal without making use of a visual sensor (a TV camera or a laser range-finder). This makes the system relatively simple and therefore inexpensive. The problems of world data acquisition, internal world model build-up and update, path planning, as well as the problem of vehicle steering are solved under certain simplifications, but with respect to expected application of the design in practice.
