Abstract
Creatures usually perceive their environment using their nerves and decide their motions. For example they detect obstacles to avoid them, and detect landmarks to recognize their positions. As regards the visual information, the usage occupies one of the most important information for creatures, and also important for robots. In this research we use visual information for operating autonomous mobile robot. Two different kinds of image processing are executed. One is road detection for recognizing the places that robot can pass. The other is landmark detection for knowing the position on the desired route. We experimented using these method for robot control.
