Method for navigation of an unmanned autonomous vehicle, unmanned autonomous vehicle, and its use

A method for navigation of an unmanned autonomous vehicle in a demarcated part of a terrain, wherein the unmanned autonomous vehicle comprises a drive unit and a camera for taking images of the terrain, the drive unit having at least one wheel and a motor for driving the wheel and wherein the camera has a known viewing angle and a known position and alignment on the unmanned autonomous vehicle, comprising the steps of:

• moving the unmanned autonomous vehicle on the terrain, wherein the camera simultaneously captures series of images of the terrain, wherein at least two images of a series comprise a number of identical points in the terrain;
• creating a map of the terrain based on the series of images of the terrain;
• autonomous navigation of the unmanned autonomous vehicle in a demarcated part of the terrain based on the created map of the terrain;
• wherein the unmanned autonomous vehicle is first moved along a perimeter in the terrain, the perimeter defining the demarcated part of the terrain, wherein a first set of series of images of the terrain is captured, after which, based on the first set of series of images a map of the perimeter in the terrain is created, followed by the autonomous exploration of the demarcated part of the terrain based on the created map of the perimeter in the terrain, wherein a second set of series of images of the terrain is captured, after which the map of the terrain is created based on the first and second sets of series of images.
