In the near future, autonomous mobile robots are expected to operate effectively in various locations, such as in living spaces as well as industrial establishments. Against this background, a new autonomous mobile robot platform was designed and prototyped in this research. For simplicity of design and easy assembly of the drive units, a robot with two low-end in-wheel motors is considered. It is also effective in saving space, and can be used for high-power operations and travelability in various road surface conditions. This paper presents a concept for developing a new type of autonomous mobile robot platform, its control system for autonomous operation, actual prototyping using this platform, and sample applications of this platform.
