ABSTRACT:
A large area movement robot including a chassis, controllable apparatus for displacement of the chassis, navigation apparatus for controlling the operation of the controllable apparatus, the navigation apparatus comprising a scanning range finder mounted on the chassis, apparatus associated with the scanning range finder for determining the azimuthal orientation of a retroreflecting object whose range is simultaneously determined by the scanning range finder and apparatus responsive to the sensed range and angular orientation of the retroreflecting object for providing operating instructions to the controllable apparatus.
