Abstract
Mobil robots are commonly used in various application fields. Military
projects, space research, deep-sea research, and various robots at work and
at home belong to the most significant applications. Material handling and
warehousing are also possible environment. In these applications mobile
robots are used as autonomous transporting vehicles. However, cooperative
systems are rare. This paper presents a proposed software structure for a
cooperatively working, camera based mobile robot for order-picking
activities in warehousing. Mobile robot applications require complex
software background. The implementation of the free navigation, obstacle
avoidance and motion control modules is also presented
