Abstract
An autonomous guided vehicle is described which makes use of data from a stereo vision system to assist its operations. Determination of the location of objects is demonstrated and the use of this to assist docking indicated. Stereo vision is also used to provide of an escape mechanism and in the construction of maps of unknown areas. The map construction is seen to depend crucially on good camera/vehicle calibration
