Intelligent mobile robots are increasingly crucial across diverse sectors like industry, medicine, and military operations, driving business growth through versatile applications. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of intelligent mobile robot research (1920-2021), focusing on autonomous vehicle development, principles, and applications. It's the first century-spanning survey of the field, tracing progress from the word "robot's" inception to today's sophisticated systems. This work serves as a valuable resource for both new and established researchers, anticipating further research spurred by its broad scope and in-depth analysis. The article significantly contributes to future research directions within the field of mobile robotics.

The intelligent mobile robot is an innovative autonomous vehicle system to overcome
the unprecedented growth of demands for mobile robot systems in various fields, such as
industry, medicine, firefighting, military operations, and many more. With the mobilization
of intelligent mobile robots, businesses of the company are rapidly increasing, diversifying
applications and flexibility. The novel technologies have developed and eased the lifestyle
of humans in which their environmental hazards and dangers and exposure have been
minimized to the optimal minimum. It has been shown that interest in research in the
field of robotics engineering has grown rapidly in recent years. In this paper, we presented
a comprehensive wide range of overviews and research outlooks regarding intelligent
robots in the last 100 years. The focus of this article has been on autonomous vehicle
research developments, working principles, and applications. As we know, this is the
first comprehensive survey of intelligent mobile robotics that covers a century of research
background. This article covered research development from 1920, when the word ‘robot’
first came into this world, to 2021, when the robot became more intelligent and reliable.
Thus, it is an outstanding initial point for new researchers and a beneficial footnote blueprint
for established researchers. Hence, we believe that a greater number of similar types of
studies will be carried out and published in the coming years. This article will play a
significant role in the future research directions of the researchers due to its coverage in a
wide range of literature surveys and deeper theoretical concepts of mobile robots.
