چکیده

This paper evaluates a path selection algorithm for mobile robots in large dynamic environments. The aim of the work is to reduce the risk of collisions and time of path following in cases when the robot repeatedly traverses between predefined target points (e.g. fot transportation or inspection tasks). The algorithm is usable even if very little is known about the environment or if it gets completely restructured during the mission. This article concentrates on evaluating the performance of the algorithm. The tests are completed on the mini-robot Khepera that operates in an unknown dynamically changing environment. The test results show that the path selection algorithm is able to reduce collision risk, travel time and travel distances as well as increase the predictability of robot’s behaviour and its degree of autonomy.

Motion Control of Mobile Robots in Indoor Dynamic Environments

This paper presents a motion control method for mobile robots in partially known dynamic indoor environments based on integration of path planning search algorithm and dynamic window local obstacle avoidance algorithm. Three different graph based search algorithms for global geometrical path planning are considered and compared: A*, D* and focussed D* algorithm. The global geometric path in a g...

Adaptive action selection without explicit communication for multi-robot box-pushing

This paper describes a novel action selection method for multiple mobile robots box-pushing in a dynamic environment. The robots are designed to need no explicit communication, and be adaptive to a dynamic environments by changing modules of behaviors. Though it is a significant problem to deal with adaptive action selection for multiple mobile-robots in a dynamic environment, few studies have ...

A Novel Method for Path Planning of Mobile Robots via Fuzzy Logic and ant Colony Algorithem in Complex Daynamic Environments

Researches on mobile robot path planning with meta-heuristic methods to improve classical approaches have grown dramatically in the recent 35 years. Because routing is one of the NP-hard problems, an ant colony algorithm that is a metaheuristic method has had no table success in this area. In this paper, a new approach for solving mobile robot navigation in dynamic environments, based on the he...
