  3. Abstract:
  4. In many industries there is a need for a flexible system, which is capable of picking up some objects of various shapes, weights, and colors with arbitrarily position and orientation. Such system requires recognition and guiding sub-systems. The recognition system includes target function for the recognition sub-system and relation between object characteristics and recognition target. The laser sensor system can be used for such object recognition. Wire-based telemetry and control systems can cause many problems in shop floors and factories, and so there has been a strong growth of interest in wireless guidance like vehicles equipped with laser guiding and navigation systems. This article describes the use of the most advanced laser sensor systems for quantity measurements, guiding, pattern recognition, and vision systems for the inspection purposes. Advanced laser sensor systems are grouped into different categories of navigation, recognition, and machine vision systems and each system is described in detail. As a typical example, a laser guided-mobile robot using a laser navigation system is also described
