| Abstract | Since the unknown environment searching system of a mobile robot has been studied throughout many years by several researchers, the obtained map from the system is able to be used in various ways. Today, one of the most useful ways is to use the map for navigating the forklifts or other vehicles in factories as known as the automated guided vehicles or AGV. In this research, the automatic unknown environment searching and map making of a mobile was proposed. In details, there are three parts of system given as follow: first, the localization system is the system which calculates the orientation of the laser sensor in real-time using the triangulation method similarly to GPS localization algorithm. The reflectors are located in the searching area to be like the landmarks for this system. Second, searching and mapping system, the robot will automatically build the map using the output data from the localization system and then create the next observation point by using the color sequence scanning algorithm in order to find the nearest unsearched area. Third, the robot system is the system which controls the movement of the robot in order to reach the next observation point. |
