Abstract— Vision based robot navigation is a key goal for a long time in most research for both robotics and computer vision. The challenging is how a mobile robot to navigate well to a goal whereas avoiding both static and dynamic obstacles. This paper will supply a unique process to compute the shortest path in an indoor environment for a mobile robot to ease its movement.The proposed way also detects and avoids obstacles in an environment using a single ceiling fixed camera. The proposed way creates a path for a known source which represents the current location of the robot, and destination. The path details are transmitted to the robot which travels using those details. This paper investigats the path creating by computer vision and internal processing not outer communication mechanism. This paper has a great importance because of its fast execution speed also vision is a smart sensor as it helps in the design of economically possible systems with simpler sensor restriction. Vision sensor provides information about the environment that is unreachable to other sensors. Keywords - robot; computer vision; shortest path and single camera.
