The process of developing a navigation system for an educational mobile robot is considered. The analysis of the existing navigation systems of mobile robots is carried out, the hardware of the navigation systems is presented, their advantages and disadvantages are shown. A diagram of the interaction of on-board subsystems during the autonomous movement of a mobile robot is presented. The design of the basic chassis of the educational mobile robot and its technical characteristics are described. A block diagram of the interaction of ROS packages (robotic operating system) for creating a terrain map using a laser ranger is developed, as well as a block diagram of the interaction of ROS packages for the an educational mobile robot tracing. Considering the studies, conclusions are drawn on the applicability of the proposed implementation of a laser ranger based navigation system for an educational mobile robot.
