The purpose of this thesis is to improve the navigational capabilities of the AMR done by a former Swiss German University student. This AMR is reported to experience problems when navigating corners and would not work in small hallways typically found in office buildings. The AMR also frequently loses its microcontroller connection causing system restart. Replacing the old microcontroller with a more powerful device may solve connection problems while simultaneously improving robot performance while improvements done on the software side may improve robot behavior when navigating corners and small hallways. To proof the improvements, tests are done to prove the robot’s navigational and mapping capabilities in a pre-determined environment.
