Abstract 

Mobile robotics is an area that deals with the control of autonomous and semiautonomous vehicles. The use of mobile robots is growing in a large number of applications especially in manufacturing, hazardous materials handling …etc In this paper, the navigation system built on a mobile robot operating in a warehouse is presented. As the mobile must be able to navigate from a known position to a desired new location and orientation avoiding any contact with fixed or moving objects while in Route, the sensory system is very important. Hybrid navigation system that combines the perception and dead reckoning is used and gives satisfactory operation .The encoder and the ultrasonic sensors used are presented in details and the navigation system designed based on their operation is illustrated.
