Abstract

In this paper, we report a development of an autonomous mobile robot for long distance outdoor navigation in our university campus. We propose how to generate a long distance Perceived Route Map (PRM), a position-based navigation algorithm using PRM, and incremental integration of the robot system by multiple processors and multiple agents. Furthermore, we developed an experimental robot system and conducted experiments of autonomous navigation using PRM in our university campus. Finally, from experimental results, we discuss open problems and future work in outdoor navigation.
