Abstract :
In this paper, we present the control and implementation schemes of a bi-directional prototype mobile robot for doing the repetitive tasks. The robot was built with the fundamental capabilities like autonomous navigation and autonomous decision making during the path planning stages. Different sensors were used for the acquisition of the useful data from the surroundings of the robot. Robot´s mechanical structure was supporting the overall scheme of its use as a basic service transportation robot. A solid gripper was used in order to pick desired objects inside an arena. The prototype robot successfully managed to complete the tasks assigned to it with the given scenarios.
