Abstract :
An autonomous mobile vehicle for indoor environment is described. The vehicle is based on three subsystems: a visual self-location module to determine vehicle location; an ultrasonic-based module for obstacle avoidance; and a visual module for the door-crossing subsystem. The prototypal vehicle is currently being tested in our laboratory
