Abstract
This paper describes a prototype of the mobile robot for indoor autonomous mapping. Description of the premises and methods of the magnetic field measurements is given, the special card of control system for mobile robot within software and hardware platform for autonomous mapping is presented. Application perspectiveness of Earth's magnetic field for indoor navigation is justified.

Key words
Mobile robot, autonomous navigation, mapping, magnetic field.
