The Virtual Sensors for Intelligent Control
of the Mobile Robot

The completeness of situational awareness has an important significance for intelligent control of autonomous mobile robot when it operates at a dynamic environment. Usually, the robot is equipped with some set of physical sensors for evaluating certain environmental properties. However, the information from physical devices only may not be enough at analyzing situations to select targeted robot actions. The technique of some virtual sensors implementations for estimations of possible mutual “robot – surrounding objects” states which necessary for path planning problem or planning the robot’s target positions are considered.
