On the development of an experimental car-like mobile robot

This paper is devoted to design and implement an intelligent scaled car-like mobile robot that possesses the capability of autonomous driving in an extra-road environment and fully autonomous parking on standard parking lots. The final goal is to design a robotized system that is able to process in real-time large amounts of sensor based data, to choose a collision free drivable trajectory thru detected obstacles and to wirelessly exchange information with a host PC.
