Abstract(in English) In this paper, we aim to develop an algorithm for navigation of an autonomous mobile robot using a visual potential. The visual potential is computed from an image sequence and optical flow observed through a vision system mounted on the mobile robot. Our algorithm enables mobile robots to avoid obstacles without any knowledge on a robot workspace. We demonstrate some experimental results using image sequence observed by a moving camera in a simulated environment and a real environment. We also show that our algorithm is robust against the fluctuation of a displacement and configuration of a mobile robot.
