This paper describes a mobile robot project which couples both a vision system and a planning system. In particular, we describe how a world model is constructed in the vision system, and how this is utilised in the generation of a point-to-point path for the robot. We show, that through similar techniques, two qualitatively differing plans may be generated namely the economical path, and the cautious path.
