This paper describes the structure of sensor system for a mobile robot. The information flow in this sensor system is also presented, including a short description of used buses and protocols. Components used for constrution of the system are briefly characterized. In one of the sections of the paper, an obstacles detection algorithm, useful for path section, summarized by experimental results. Good speed of image processing, obtained by proposed method, gives possibility to detect obstacles in real time.
