Abstract
The work is dedicated to the development of a control algorithm for the autonomous intelligent robotic complex (AIRTC). The unmanned ground vehicle consists of a corpus that contains batteries, motor wheels, sensors, video cameras, on-board computer for processing data from sensors and video cameras. The general dimensions of the autonomous mobile robotic platform are 780x650x550 mm. The small size of the mobile platform allows it to be used in small areas, where the use of other vehicles is economically unprofitable. The key role in the autonomous mode of operation of the robotic complex is intended to the use of machine learning technologies to realize the possibility of performing the task assigned to the autonomous robotic platform in indoor and outdoor areas. An algorithm has been developed to control the basic platform of an autonomous robotic technical complex and to detect key obstacles automatically using a neural network. The accuracy of detecting the eight designated classes of obstacles was 85%.

Key words
