    Navigation task for highly populated indoor environment belongs to the most difficult issues in mobile robotics. Presented paper deals with a hybrid approach which combines three methods: potential fields, Voronoi diagrams and rule based path planner. Such combination takes the best of all mentioned methods to create reliable navigation system with maximum emphasis on safety. The meth-od was verified using real mobile robot in common environment with dynamic ob-stacles.

    The popularity of operating an autonomous robot in a populated environment increases in recent years. Presented paper describes a rule based state machine method used to successful navigation through highly populated environment. The paper includes the test results obtained by the real robot in a shopping mall representing the attractive example of such an environment.

    The paper presents both hardware and software means used to develop a scalable low/middle level control system for the autonomous mobile robot Advee. Brief description of chosen hardware resources is given and use of a Linux-based operating system as a foundation of a soft real-time control system is discussed as well as the choice of other vital software components, e.g. inter-process communication mechanism. Described system has been fully implemented and successfully exploited in operation.

    Autonomous mobile robot must be equipped with a number of sensors of various measurement principles. The data fusion of measured data is essential for successful navigation of the robot. The paper describes the data fusion method based on Bayesian network. Apart from theoretical grounds of the used approach, the example is also given fusing the compass, GPS and odometry sensor data, because such sensors are commonly present in outdoor robots.

    This paper deals with a complex energy harvesting system which generates electric energy from its surroundings. The source of an ambient energy can be available in the form of solar, thermal or mechanical energy. The paper is focused on the energy harvesting from mechanical energy of vibrations. The mechatronic approach was used for development of the energy harvesting source which harvests electrical energy from ambient mechanical vibrations.
