This paper presents the Panorama project, its objectives and technical approach, first results of autonomous motion with an experimental platform, and application scenarios. The Panorama project aims to develop an advanced perception and navigation system for automated industrial vehicles dealing with partially structured and partially known environments (outdoors).Applications concern the automation of material transportation in building sites, forests, agriculture, open quarries, docks, warehouses and special-purpose machines, such as harvesters, rock drilling machines, building machines, cleaning machines for large areas.
