Abstract

This paper presents the development of a system for obtaining maps of the unknown environment of a mobile robot based on the range information provided by a laser sensor, as well as the automatic representation of this information in the form of a virtual world (MV) interactive three-dimensional Internet. The developed system allows, in addition, the representation of the free space found in the environment as a graph in which the most suitable routes can be determined automatically to go from one place to another of the previously mapped environment. The system developed not only facilitates the programming of the trajectories but also allows a safe operation of the robot by preventing collisions through its reactive navigation system.
