Mr Christian,

I really appreciate your reply, it really helped and we're going to try it
out.

I just also wanted to ask if we could replace the laser range finder by
embedding an algorithm that calculates the distance between the Robotino and
the objects in front of it; mainly retrieved from the camera?? 

Would that be efficient? or do you think it would be and over kill in
processing??

Mina,

From my point of view the rangefinder is the only (practical) way to do navigation and mapping. Everything else (3D pointcloud processing) means lots of problems and enormous computational power when thinking about realtime.
