Abstract;We have developed an on-line path-planning algorithm that directs an autonomous mobile robot called nonholonomic robot to a goal while avoiding obstacles in an uncertain world. The developed autonomous mobile robot runs on two wheels and is equipped with two degree of freedom visual sensor (CCD camera) having a restricted view field. In addition, this robot can be identified its self-position with a dead reckoning by a wheel measuring a running distance. In this paper we propose a new method for running autonomous wheel mobile robot using the landmark in an uncertain world containing a narrow road. (author abst.)
