FIELD: physics, robotics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to robotics and specifically to robotic equipment designed for operation in a remote mode in extremely hazardous conditions without human involvement. A method for the automatic control of a ground-based robotic system includes radio communication between a control panel and a control object, providing input and processing of input information coming from on-board sensors, and computing the current orientation and the location of the robotic system. The method includes automatic returning of the robotic system to the starting point or to a steady radio communication zone upon the loss of a radio connection between the control panel and the control object along the previously travelled path with the adjustment of the said path to bypass detected obstacles. To this end, the method includes executing, on-board the robotic system, basic algorithms for movement in an a-priori unknown environment.
EFFECT: disclosed engineering solution enables to solve the task of three-dimensional imaging of a robotic system in a hazardous environment and the task of independent movement on paths that are adjusted when necessary.
