Abstract :
Summary form only given. For designing robots, nature is a large source of inspiration. Since lasers does not exist in nature they offers new challenging possibilities for robot control. We outline two cases: laser based beacon navigation used in industry and current effort for fusing laser and vision so as to get reliable navigation in unstructured environments.
