The autonomous wheeled mobile robots are very interesting subject both in scientific research and practical applications. The article deals with the fuzzy control of autonomous wheeled mobile robotic platform motion in an unstructured environment with obstacles. The simulation results show the effectiveness and the validity of the obstacle avoidance behaviour in unstructured environments and th...

mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. in this paper, a new approachis proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. the proposedapproach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the trackusing a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. for training, a human operator navigates themobile robot in some...

Nowadays, Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs) are built and the control system that used to control them are made by Electronic Engineers. Depend on their desire design of WMR, Technicians made used of Microcontrollers as controlling machines and DC Motors for motion control. Autonomous robotic vehicle guidance for indoor navigation has been developed for Mobile Industrial Robot model. The resulting d...

The paper deals with the modeling and control strategies of the motion of wheeled mobile robots. The model of the vehicle has two driving wheels and the angular velocities of the two wheels are independently controlled. First, the vehicle kinematics model and the control strategies using a feedforward compensator are analyzed. Second, fuzzy reactive control of a mobile robot motion in an unknow...

A young designer of the wheeled mobile robot has to answer a wide range of questions before making a final decision to build a prototype. The basic problem is to define an appropriate drive and type of construction. At this stage, the young designers usually duplicate ready-made solutions, however, in general uses an inappropriate drive. The robot behaves correctly only after several failed des...

This paper presents a time invariant kinematic motion controller for wheeled mobile robots. Actuator capability, mechanical design, and traction forces governed by terrain features provide velocity and curvature limitations that are used in the design of the controller. A novel path manifold that considers curvature limitations is introduced to provide a desired path shape and convergence to th...

Navigation and obstacle avoidance are very important issues for the successful use of an autonomous mobile robot. To allow the robot to move between its current and final configurations without any collision within the surrounding environment, motion planning needs much treatment. Thus to generate collision free path it should have proper motion planning as well as obstacle avoidance scheme. Th...
