Abstract
Mobile robot navigation seen as trail following is the most industrial exploited implementation of autonomous vehicles. Normally, expensive magnetic trail are used. In this paper a cheaper odour trail is proposed. In fact, a vehicle equipped with two odour sensors is able to follow a felt ribbon soaked with odour marker. The advantage of use of this technology is the cheapness. Experimental results on the authors´ test vehicle SAURO are shown
