This paper represents part of the ongoing research into an Intelligent Mobile Autonomous System (IMAS). An intermediate path planning subsystem (Navigator), for the hierarchy of IMAS, is presented which operates in completely known, partially known, and completely unknown environments. Information is passed from a sensor to the Navigator via the "Cartographer" which performs map updating. The interaction and performance of these subsystems are demonstrated in a simulation of the IMAS hierarchy.
