A new three-dimensional (3D) map building method based on Laser Range Finder (LRF) has been proposed in this research, performing a surface estimation with the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm. While a mobile robot is navigating in an unknown environment, the entire environment cannot be scanned by LRF since kinematic features of the mobile robot and surface conditions are dynamically changing. To resolve this difficulty in building a 3D map while the mobile robot is navigating, a surface estimation ICP algorithm is proposed, which is based on the continuity of the environment around mobile robot. That is, this new algorithm recovers the un-scanned area by estimating feature points in the neighboring two regions based on the continuous environment information. The effectiveness of proposed algorithm has been demonstrated through real experiments of the mobile robot navigation.

Mobile robot is an important developing direction in the field of robotics, it is widely used in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environment, agriculture, military, transportation, services with the coming of 5G wireless communication technology. Automatic navigation control technology is the core in these research areas, which is also the key technology for mobile robot to achieve intelligentization and autonomation.The article discusses and researches the neural network technology and its application in mobile robot navigation control. For the characteristics and research of mobile robot navigation problem, it finds the way to improve the mobile robot intelligentization, level of the self-organization, self-learning and adaptive capability. The combination of neural network with other intelligent algorithms solves autonomous navigation problem of the mobile robot in the complex uncertain environments and unknown variable environments. The mobile robot navigation control problem using fuzzy neural network can achieve a more effective real-time navigation control performance through amending the network weights by self-study according to the navigation priori knowledge of human experts.
