Abstract
The work described in this paper presents a goal oriented navigation system in a behavior-based manner. The main contributions are, in first place the in-depth study of local navigation strategies and, on the other hand, the use of natural landmarks, namely corridors and emergency exit panels. Eliminating the centralized control of modules the system performs the task as a result of the combination of many relatively simple and light weight behaviors that run concurrently.
