An important subject for a mechanical engineer is the development of autonomous mobile robots which have the ability to work in environments hazardous to human beings. Integrated control systems with microprocessors and various kinds of sensors can contribute to this subject. There are, however, many kinds of problems in the development of the intelligent working robots. This paper discusses the problems of navigation in flat enclosed areas and proposes the schemes to cover the entire area. The utility of the scheme is demonstrated by using a developed three-wheel robot with supersonic sensors for external sensing.
