The article presents a new topic in path planning for mobile robots, region filling. which involves a sweeping operation to fill a whole region with random obstacle avoidance. The approaches for global strip filling and local path searching driven by sensory data procedures are developed. A computer graphic simulation is used to verify the filling strategy available. The research was developed from the program for the design of a robot lawn mower. However, the solution appears generic. The significance is that a problem of wide application and generic solutions for general autonomous mobile robots have been developed.
