How to use hector slam to navigate your robot

Hi,

So far I was able to generate a map using a laser range finder. Now, I want to allow the robot to see the pathways and be able to autonomously guide itself through the map. Can someone please help me set this up? I would really appreciate it. I'm very new to ros and would appreciate a detailed explanation.

I'm guessing this has something to do with amcl? How do I integrate that with my robot? My launch file is as follows:

Thank you!

I forgot to mention I run the hokuyo_node node separately in the command line window, not through this launch file
