OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE AND PATH PLANNING IN MOBILE ROBOTICS

Abstract

Robotics has been one of the emerging fields in the current date scenario. Robotics are being employed in various application sectors like the medical, industries, tourism, agriculture, etc. Among them, autonomous driving systems have been one of the major problems where active research is been taking place. Among many, two of the major sub-sections under them will be obstacle avoidance and path planning. Obstacle avoidance usually works in the higher level of path planning. Mobile robots should find an optimal or near-optimal path from the starting state to the target state based on one or some performance indicators. In path planning, we will try to build an algorithm to dynamically deal with the cost constraint.
