Recently, the automatic movement of mobile robots has played a very important role inthe advancement of technology. Automated mobile robot path determination is one of the mostimportant challenges in the science of technology. This paper proposed a path planning method forwheeled mobile robots based on a real time calculation of a predefined distance on a certain map toenable the mobile robot to navigate at indoor areas according to the calculated distances and angleson the paths. The proposed system uses two wheels’ car as a prototype with two optical encoders todetermine the number of wheel’s rotations, in order to calculate the needed distances and anglesbetween two points on the navigation path. The system was controlled by a microcomputer RaspberryPi, programmed using python programming language. The experimental results show an accuratedistances and angles measurement for the navigation under a suitable condition.
