N2  - Real time detection methods of moving vehicles and pedestrians for navigation of the mobile robot are proposed. The method is based on a locomotion strategy, viz. signature-based stereotype motion. Signature of the moving vehicle is the shadow underneath the vehicle which is darker than any other parts of the asphalt paved road. Signature of the pedestrian is rhythm of walking. Rhythm of walking is unique to the pedestrian, and not influenced by time, weather, sunlight, shadow, and distance. Moreover, it is independent from clothes the pedestrian puts on. The result of experiments verify the validity of the methods<p />
