A key issue in the research of an autonomous mobile robot is the design and development of a navigation technique that enables the robot to navigate in a real world environment. This paper is focused on the (a) Establishment of a methodology to model the control system that optimizes the behavior rules using Fuzzy Associative Memory (FAM) for mobile robot navigation. The existing methods focuse...

This paper presents an approach to the optimal method for behavior generation of mobile robot. Recently, a hybrid system that supplements gap between reactive and plan-based approaches by employing a reactive system for lower level control for fast reaction and a planner for higher level for generation of optimal sequence of behaviors has gained popularity. Behavior network structures may gener...

In recent years, a great deal of interest has been focused on the control of mobile multi-robot systems. The primary reason for this interest in mobile multi-robot systems within the robotics research community is that such systems hold several advantages over single-robot systems. For example, these systems have the capability to quickly explore a large area, and for transporting heavy objects...

Evorobot (http://gral.ip.rm.cnr.it/evorobot/simulator.html) is a software for running evolutionary robotics experiments. It allows to replicate many of the experiments described in (Nolfi S. and Floreano D. [2000]. Evolutionary Robotics: The Biology, Intelligence, and Technology of Self-Organizing Machines. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press/Bradford Books) and to run your own experiments. Evorobot runs ...

This paper introduces a solution to the reference trajectory tracking problem done by a differential wheeled mobile robot Khepera II. The paper includes a kinematic part and a dynamic part of the mathematical model of mobile robot. In this paper two approaches of the artificial intelligence are used i.e. genetic algorithm approach from evolutionary computing techniques and theory of neural netw...

Working in the field of mobile robotics, we are interested in sharing robots with other people via a network. In the 3 last years, there was already some work done mainly with robot arms but rarely with a mobile robot. In spring 1997, a first attempt was done with KhepOnTheWeb. Its purpose is only to demonstrate some possibilities of remote control of a Khepera mobile robot. It is accessible da...

Research in mobile robotics often requires heavy investments in time and money. Mobile robots are still quite expensive and complex. Moreover, experimental set-ups need important preparations. Despite the fact that the number of researchers using real robots is growing, a good robot is still an important investment that many research groups cannot a ord. For those groups that can a ord a such e...

Reliable and efficient material transport is one of the basic requirements that affect productivity in industry. For that reason, in this paper two approaches are proposed for the task of intelligent material transport by using a mobile robot. The first approach is based on applying genetic algorithms for optimizing process plans. Optimized process plans are passed to the genetic algorithm for ...

A biologically inspired computational model of rodent representation–based (locale) navigation is presented. The model combines visual input in the form of realistic two dimensional grey-scale images and odometer signals to drive the firing of simulated place and head direction cells via Hebbian synapses. The space representation is built incrementally and on-line without any prior information ...

This paper explores the possibility of providing robots with an ‘inner world’ based on internal simulation of perception rather than an explicit representational world model. First a series of initial experiments is discussed, in which recurrent neural networks were evolved to control collision-free corridor following behavior in a simulated Khepera robot and predict the next time step’s sensor...
