A robotic vehicle is guided along a predetermined path which is to be traversed autonomously by the vehicle. As the vehicle is guided along the path, the area before the vehicle is scanned and discontinuities in the scan scene are reduced to a series of time separated pulses. The pulse series at selected locations along the path are stored such that the vehicle can autonomously retrace the predetermined path by matching pulse series generated by current scanning with stored pulse series. A scanner mirror receives and directs a laser beam through an area before the vehicle along the path to be traversed and receives reflected return signals from the scanned area. Optical detection means receive the return signals from the scanner mirror and generate raw scene signals which are doubly differentiated to generate pulse series representative of the discontinuities of the scanned area. The laser beam is directed upon the scanner mirror such that the beam is surrounded by the reflected return signals effectively within a bore therethrough to effect a boresighted optical scanner and detector system.
