Mobile Robot Path Planning And Obstacle Avoidance Control

Mobile robot is an important branch of robot. It involves artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent control, information procession, image procession and detection and conversion. It refers to computer science, auto control, mechanical, electronic science. It's one of the key researches on intelligent robot now.The most important character of mobile robot is that it programs a path to do something by detecting and dealing environmental information by itself. In other words, it has some intelligence.This thesis studied the path programming of mobile robot. Be different with usually point-to-point path programming, this thesis studied the traverse programming. Under the precondition of satisfying every performance, a continuous path, which passes through every arrival point from start to end, will be found. However, the aim of point-to-point path programming is to find an optimized path from one point to another point without bump. Firstly, this thesis meshes the region that needs robot to traverse to some small region, then, traverse every small region by some evaluates. At the end of the thesis, computer simulated image of the traverse is presented.The path programming of mobile robot is still on theoretic and experimental stage. There are few practical apply. It still needs much further research.
