EN Nowadays robotic researches are concerned about autonomous and robust operation outdoors in order to perform a variety of practical applications. Therefore, we present a robotic platform TAPAS designed for autonomous navigation in the man-made environments, like parks, and capable of transporting 5 kg payload. The article presents the hardware design and sensory system that allowed to create a fully autonomous vehicle unique due to its low cost, light weight and long battery duration. Presented solution was already thoroughly evaluated at the international robotic competition Robotour 2014, where TAPAS took ex aequo 4th place out of 13 robots. Taking part in the competition provided feedback that is discussed in the article and will be used for further developments.
