The vision group at the University of Oulu is investigating problems in 3-D world modeling and visual indoor navigation. This paper describes a test vehicle developed for the research. The three wheeled vehicle is propelled by a pulse-width controlled DC motor and steered by a stepping motor. The vehicle is equipped with primary and secondary sensors. Visual input consisting of a three-camera stereo system is used as the primary sensor for navigation and secondary sensors provide information about the internal state of the vehicle.
