Autonomous robots performing desired tasks in rough, changing, unstructured environments without continuous human assistance must have the ability to cope with its surroundings whether this be certain or not. The development of algorithms deriving useful conclusions from uncertain information obtained by various sensors may be the first for it. Recently ontology is taken great attention as a method useful for the representation and processing of knowledge. In this paper, we propose an ontology-based navigation algorithm for autonomous robots, and provide computer simulation results in order to show the validity of the proposed algorithm.
