Path Navigation For Robot Using Matlab

Abstract

Path navigation using fuzzy logic controller and trajectory prediction table is to drive a robot in the dynamic environment to a target position,without collision. This path navigation method consists of static navigation method and dynamic path planning. The static navigation used to avoid the static obstacles by using fuzzy logic controller, which contains four sensor input and two output variables. If the robot detects moving obstacles, the robot can recognize the velocity and moving direction of each obstacle and generate the Trajectory Prediction Table to predict the obstacles’ future trajectory. If the trajectory prediction table which reveals that the robot will collide with an obstacle, the dynamic path planning will find a new collision free path to avoid the obstacle by waiting strategy or detouring strategy. . A lot of research work has been carried out in order to solve this problem. In order to navigate successfully in an unknown or partially known environment, the mobile robots should be able to extract the necessary surrounding information from the environment using sensor input, use their built-in knowledge for perception and to take the action required to plan a feasible path for collision free motion and to reach the goal.
