Abstract

Autonomous mobile robot design directed by the product design concept, it is can take transport task for some complex medical environment in the future. We design an autonomous mobile robot which consists of many sensors such as GPS, INS, camera, ultrasonic and infrared sensors. The robot consists of central control system, navigation and self-localization system, obstacle detection system and motor drive system. The obstacle-rounding path planning algorithm is presented in this paper. We combined the large-scale system with the subsystem to complete the design of each unit.
