A general introduction to laser scanning systems is given, whereby a novel technical vision system (TVS) using the dynamic triangulation measurement method for 3D coordinate determination is found suitable for accomplishing this task of mobile robot path planning. Furthermore, methods and algorithms for mobile robot road maps and path planning are presented and compared. INTRODUCTION Robots are used to carry out mechanical work for humans and are designed as a stationary or mobile vehicle. Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) thereby represents mobile machines, which can move independently in their surroundings and can carry out specific tasks.
