Abstract

A navigation scheme for a mobile robot is presented, where a set of linguistic instructions are formulated to command the robot to move toward destination in a corridor environment. This approach do not need a detailed model of the environment. The robot is equipped with ultra-wide-angle laser range sensor. Fundamental functions based on the surroundings information obtained from the laser range sensor: to move along the corridor without any collision with walls nor objects, and to find a crossings are provided on the robot to move in the corridor directed by the set of instructions.
