ABSTRACT 

The path planning of a mobile robot in this paper is a result of a recent work based on 
previous use of LIDAR sensors. Lidar sensors have been in use for many years now in 
various fields for numerous purposes. Path planning, environment mapping, obstacle 
avoidance, weather mapping, terrain mapping and etc. have been the major 
application of a Lidar sensor. 
The work in this thesis consists of the use of RPLIDAR A1 sensor from Robo Peak for 
the development of the algorithm for environment mapping, localization and 
trajectory planning with obstacle avoidance in indoor environment.
At first it is about learning the limitations and calibrating the sensor for optimal use in 
closed environment. This is followed by the development of algorithm for mapping the 
said environment. Then the second stage of development requires us to develop 
algorithm for trajectory planning and localization or SLAM.
The central part of the work consists of the development of efficient and productive 
algorithm for mapping and path planning in a simulated environment.
Finally it produces the possibility of reading of the local environment and trajectory 
planning in closed environment. This information can be useful in developing in-house 
robots for service industry that can be used in restaurants, offices and house and be a 
part of our daily lives while making them easier and more productive. Use of 3D 
sensors and cameras can vastly improve the performance and usability of the mobile 
robot.
