This paper deals with planning of visual navigation strategies for a mobile robot under uncertainty of both visual data and dead reckoning data. When a robot passes through a narrow space, it has to move slowly while carefully observing surrounding objects and estimating the distances to the objects precisely. On the other hand, the robot can move fast in a widely open space. A novel method i s p r oposed which can adaptively determine the speed o f t h e r obot and the visual landmarks,
