Abstract
The generation of accurate maps and reliable path is necessary and indispensable for an autonomous mobile robot. It is preferable that is obtained simultaneously. In this paper, we propose an obstacle map and robot path generation method for an autonomous robot. This method aimes to generate the environmental map and path simultaneously and speedy by using Laser Range Finder that is more high speed than image processing for ranging, and Potential Field method that is able to get continuous path simply for path planning.The experimental result are shown.
