The mobile robots usage is increasing yearly. Due to the fast pace in the industry, the requirements of shorter time intervals of processes and higher productivity are getting stricter. Mobile robots in modern production systems have become key enablers of the system for fast and safe transportation of material. In this thesis the development of mobile robot in positioning for material transportation is discussed. The system is implemented with middleware ROS and programming language C++. The structure of the robots, the software environment, the development of algorithms and the use of mobile robots are described. Also it is described the algorithm for processing the picture of the camera and different methods for controlling the mobile robot into the reference position. Conclusion is based on an experiment and comparison the results from different methods, findings and suggestions for possible system upgrades.
